#4 & 8 coils were super difficult for me to snake out of position and to reinstall. Made me rethink my life choices. You made it seem so easy. I even took my cowl and strut bars off for extra room.
I just want to say I really appreciate your videos FCP Euro. Helped me a lot with my 135i. Someday when I own an E92 M3 I'm sure these will come in handy.😅
NGK 4471 LKR8AP Laser Platinum OE Spark Plugs (L-KRAP). BMW OEM Spark Plugs are twice as expensive. FCP Euro Lifetime Warranty!!! 37,500 mile Service Interval. M3 Coil Puller Tool on Amazon is still available. Division-M The ignition coil black plastic covers get brittle in high mileage M3s.They can break at the grommets. Put silicon on the rubber grommets if they are dried out. You can buy the rubber grommets separately and replace them. The valve covers are magnesium, so try to put something like a cloth or piece of rubber underneath, if using a metal tool as a lever. The top of the ignition coils are rubber....so it is not a great place to stick a metal screwdriver. Twist the coil to break the seal. Use leverage under the coil and at the coil connector.
Check if you put the oil cap back on properly. It might be cross-threaded. Check the oil level to make sure you didn't add way too much oil. Or it could just be a coincidence that you had a spark plug go bad at the same time.
Seating these ignition coils in my opinion is more difficult than removing them. The reason is you do not get good feedback as to whether they have seated themselves or not.. There should be no gap between the sealing grommet and the valve cover. A slight gap would mean the ignition coil is not making contact with the nut on the spark plug. Getting these coils to seat all the way down (particulary those towards the rear of the engine) takes a decent amount of physical force.

Just did an oil change and had the first 4 misfire. Was it possible from the oil

@@rjmari yea the oil cap is on correctly.
@@GarethFoley the coils are in correctly because you hear the audible click
@@gabby811ify Is the ignition coil ground secured to the valve cover?
