Whats the correct spark plugs to put in my E30 M3.

Are NGK D8EVX ones ok to use ?

and do i need a "special" BM tool to remove them, as all the usual sized Spark plug tools i have wont fit the things ! :mad:

also, can anyone provide me with instructions how to remove the fuse box, seeing thats where (roughly) my water leak is coming from. :cry:

Alex.

According to BMW's ETk they say Bosch X5 DTC
try that number see if it crosses over to NGK!

And in regards to the tool, i think there is a special one, Snap On do it i think!

Have a look in your tool box in your boot for the tool.

Then when you find it's missing, give the dealer a ring. They will confirm the removal tool is no longer available 8O

last one i saw sold on ebay went for Ԛ£150....

I'm sure you'll find something to fit...
