Spark Plug Change
Hi everyone,
My car has just hit 25,000 miles and the service told me that it needs new spark plugs at the 25k miles mark. Can anyone confirm on this? |

It would depend on the type of driving you IMO.

The previous M cars required this around 30,000 miles, so I wouldn't be surprised this is the case with the twin turbo engine. Regardless, this is something you can do on your and will cost you fraction of what the dealer will charge you - if you know your way around the car.

OP is in England. I think maintenance warranty like the one in the US does not apply over there.

The only thing you pay for during the maintenance period is tires. P.S. I'm from the U.S. I know other countries service/maintenance scopes are different.

In the U.S, "everything" is covered under the warranty maintenance period except for tires. Brakes is included.

Yes, I agree - Would be nice to find a DIY for the spark plug/coil change on the S63TU.

Yes - change them. It came up on mine within 15K miles. Of course he dealer didn't swap them and just put 8 new ones in my trunk.

Bump. Anyone install plugs?
What are the steps? I can do a write up with pictures if I know the basic steps. I don't know if I go under the car or through the open hood... |

I had my plugs done today under the factory warranty at 39K miles. I asked my Advisor how much the service would have cost me.
$846. Definitely looking for DIY when warranty is gone... |
