Thanks for this! I appreciate the fact that you did the entire job on camera. Some repair videos cut so often it's difficult to follow exactly what's actually happening.
Dayuumm. You just saved me $350. Thieving dealer wanted $350 (!) for the THREE plugs in my 2015 B38. From what you showed here I have no doubt that it's doable in under 15 minutes. I owe you, dude.
2017 Countryman is nothing like this one . Brace runs right over the top and cowl rubber seal must be removed first . Not for the faint of heart , that's for sure . I am a fair mechanic and it looks like 2 hours easy . 350 sounds pretty fair for a dealership .
You’re a great lad for posting this. Dealer wants £800 for plugs and oil change. I knew the R53 wasn’t difficult as I had one a few years back but didn’t know about the F55.
Awesome tutorial- I’ll be doing this my son’s 2017 Mini Cooper S next month- Dude, you sound like Jack Nicholson 😂! For a minute I thought it was Jack working on a mini! Thanks a bunch!
I had 86K on it. It was the second time I changed them. I aim for about 45K. Turbo engines are hard on plugs and in the big scheme of things they are cheap and easy and make sure I have a nice spark all the time.

Glad to help. It is totally doable. Just make sure you have the thin wall socket before you start.
@@kevinringer2984 Yep! Already knew that thanks to Rainman Ray. Have a long thin wall with wobble and magnet ready to go.
Thanks again!

Gland this could help.
Thanks for the info on the Thin Wall Spark Plug socket. Saved me a ton of time and frustration!!!
Glad it helped!

LOL, first time I've heard that.
I didn’t think it was this easy. I am changing it myself now. Great work
Glad I could help.
Thanks for this video. What size is the socket for the spark plugs?
I used this. ATLIN 14mm Spark Plug Socket - Thin Wall Spark Plug Socket.
@@kevinringer2984 thank you. I'm about to get them done. 💪👍
What size socket ???
Hello, can i have the force necessary to tighten the spark and the screw of the coil thank you!( Sorry for my english i am frech! )
What I have found is 8 Nm for the coils and 23 Nm for the plugs
Is this the same for a 2016 F57 convertible?
Yes, it looks like the 2016 convertible is the F57. You may have a 3 cylinder if it is the base model and not an S. The rest is the same.
Torx Nut Number for the Spark Coil?
Very nice job. Can you please tell me which type code of plugs are these,? I have a 1.5 liter 136ps minni cooper MY 2014. Thank you
I used BMW 12120040551. Yours are different. I would look them up on REALOEM dot COM.
Where did you buy the coil and the spark plug
I got the plugs off Ebay, it is a risk but they were genuine BMW plugs. Not sure on the coil. I did not replace any coils.
How many miles/kms did you have when you did this?
I had 86K on it. It was the second time I changed them. I aim for about 45K. Turbo engines are hard on plugs and in the big scheme of things they are cheap and easy and make sure I have a nice spark all the time.
Mini wanted to charge 452 bucks, screw them, this is easy
Glad this helped.
Not telling folks the size of the socket used is kind of unbelievable..🤔
Sorry I missed that. Thin Wall Spark Plug Socket 12-Point, 14-millimeter
Soo noisy
Ok.
