2011 528i Spark Plug Replacement

snj1013 · 03-02-2018, 10:51 AM

So, I got a fault code yesterday (Cylinder 1 misfire). So I did change out the coil and the car is running better, but with my car just hitting 60k miles, it's time for plugs. Seems straight forward. Anyone what to chime in with any recommendations? Should I go with BMW plugs or the equivalent NGK?

NGK's are fine. LZFR6AP11GS

60k is a bit premature though, service interval on N52k family engines is 100k, you may have something else amiss.
