When you say expensive, do you have V24? 😂 So you need 24 sparks.

Interesting...

On RockAuto anyway, the replacement NGKs (49061) are $49.89 each. $13 sounds a lot more tolerable.

The original question was regarding the coils, you answered with spark plugs.

Another pain in the ass if you want to replace sparks)))

Sorry, but no.... Remove two bolts, lift carbon bar out of the engine bay and you're good to go. Easy access to the oil filter and spark plugs.

RockAuto has them...

But $25 each for the Bosch sounds much better. I'll check out FCP Euro when the time comes. Thanks!

omg congrats! Is the driving experience significantly improved, stock to stock?

I've always thought the M4 was too much for me/my current needs in life and thought the 440i was a sweet middle spot.

sometimes it just makes sense, does it feel like an upgrade in every conceivable way?

e90Nate · 04-21-2021, 08:41 AM

M performance shift knob and e-brake installed. Now to sort out putting in the larger iDrive knob.

To be honest I find it to be loud, raw, rough, and not even close to as refined or comfortable while rolling along as my 435i... and I love it.

*seat wise it is more comfortable. Drive wise it is... different for sure.

Headlight upgrade? From what to what? The 335 could come with halogen reflectors???

I agree. I have a convertible, the light brown interior was filthy - only 2 years old. I tried a few other products, didn't work at all. Their cleaner worked great.
