spark plugs for a 1.9 Z3

Post by uggers2k »

Hi all,

I have a 2001 Z3, 1.9.

I will be changing the spark plugs this week, and would like a recommendation on the best spark plug to use for the car.

Also, is there a recommended tool to remove the old spark plugs (14mm spark plug tool)

Many thanks

Likewise, last fitted Bosch FGR 7DQP into my M44 (1.9) and much to my surprise, noticed an improvement.

I've recently replaced my plugs with 4 x Bosch FR78X spark plugs bought from GSF which cost me a very reasonable £12.42 with their online discount code. Mind you, I also had to buy a 10mm spark plug socket from Halfords for a fiver, but I'm very happy with the results.

The plug spanner is in the tool kit - the long tube spanner, with a plastic 'gripper' inside one end to extract the plug. Turn it with the plastic-ended bar whic is also in the tool kit.
