No anti-seize compound for the threads? I am perhaps dating myself, but that used to be always recommended for installing plugs in an aluminum head. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Apparently Virtually all spark plugs now feature a special anti-seizure nickel or zinc-chromate shell plating. Basically, you can think of the plating as a replacement of thread compound or copper slip
Hi unfortunately I dont own the car anymore so no new F56 videos coming, is it the car battery you are talk about or the key? If so here is the key battery replacement video I have: ua-cam.com/video/ibrkzwVFGn0/v-deo.html
The factory gap for the NGK’s .030" (0.75mm) iridium/platinum plugs shouldn’t need gapping as they are extremely strong but worth checking if you are concerned
excellent, thx for your reference. i know that the new spark plugs comer already calibrated but dou you know what is the calibration spect for the spark plugs on mini f56? kind regards
Alfonso Tejeda Hi MINI recommend the following: At every 6th Engine Oil Service: Spark plugs: Replace (approximately 60,000 miles). I've done mine a lot soon just because my engine is tuned so I like to reduce the suggested gaps between servicing items
nice job should i buy the same plugs as you have in this video ? or can i buy another plugs like from NGK ? how can i know which plugs size or number should i buy ?
I used in the UK for my Cooper S F56: The newer NGK BMW part number is 12 12 0 040 551 for the individuals. The NGK number is SILZKGR8B8S. BMW also supply champion plugs in the same box with the same part number as the NGK, guidance I have been given is that the champion plugs are an inferior product and you really want the NGK plugs. Please ensure that you check with your supplier that they are providing the NGK's. Tools Required: 8mm star socket 14mm bi-hex spark plug socket wrench and extender bar for the above
Great instructions. Saved me $100 doing myself with the right tools
Thanks for watching, glad it was useful
Thanks. Helped with my 2017 Mini Cooper S Countryman
Nice one, glad it was useful

I always check the gap, factory production isn't perfect. Also recommend torquing plugs 23Nm.
Thanks for the tip
@tweedbean - can you do a vid on how to change battery and is it really necessary to take it to dealership to get it recoded? thanks

Is not necessary, it will appear an error that will disappear by it’s own in one or two days.
What is the torque setting for the ignition coil screws please? Is it 8Nm only like I read online?
The torque spec on the ignition coil screws is 8 Nm apparently
Thank you!! please torking plugs ?
Cooper s f56 06/2015
Apparently it’s 23 + 3 Nm or 16.9 + 2.2 ft-lbs (unlubricated).
What's the required gap for the plugs? I bought ngk plugs and they were gapped at .030.

What about changing plugs on a 2019 Mini Countryman S?
I would imagine its exactly the same

90000 km??
hello, what is the tube between the first and second sparks?
Sorry not sure maybe some sort of breather or something that needs pressure
Thank you! What's the gapping for the plugs or do they come pre-gapped? Excellent tutorial.
Tam G Hi I understand they are pre-gapped so I did not adjust
Awesome, thx!!!
8mm Star socket is a E Nut?
Yes
nice job

Aghiad Baik it’s always recommended to instal OEM replacement. Better than any other brand or specs.
Ngk are fine, the oem are also ngk but the only difference is it has bmw on it
Suppliers like Orranje should be able to recommend
Good job man
Thanks for watching
Ngk.... Bosch... Champion...?
Thanck you
