WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2025 BMW X4, 2024 BMW X4, 2023 BMW X4, 2022 BMW X4, and 2021 BMW X4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The description is provided only at one component. The procedure is the same for all other components.
- Insert spark plug (1) in the special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230)
. NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Do not drop the spark plug into the spark plug shaft. This can lead to a reduction of the electrode gap and can thus impair smooth running of the engine, especially in idle position. - Screw the spark plugs into the engine hand-tight with the special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230)
.NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Only a swiveling extension for the reversible ratchet may be used. Rigid mounting tool and variable plug connections with rigid option may not be used; there is a risk that the insulator breaks. - Tighten the spark plugs with the torque wrench, the special tool 0 495 560 (12 1 220) and with a pivotable extension.
