Today i finally got round to buying the service items for my 91 316i looked at the spark plugs and they are adjustable i know for a fact the ones in the car are not.
my question is this what is the gap? the type of plugs are ngk 2262 i dont want to fit them and wreck the engine :cry: if they are the wrong ones.
the haynes manual says not adjustable :mad:

According to Haynes it is 0.8mm (they say thats what Champion say :roll: ) That is what mine are set to and it runs fine :)

Are there any other number's on the plugs, like, BPR 6ES?
