Just did mine today using your video. Super helpful! Just had to carefully pry using a flathead at my old gasket to get it off. Thanks!

I really loved your video, I have the same problem and I don't understand why the mechanic wants to charge me 1500 to do that job?

Thank you so much. I totally agree with you. This should not be a 1500 dollar job. Glad this was helpful. :)

I tried to start doing the work but my car has a piece that sticks out between the central spark plugs and I will have to remove it too but I don't know if I will do it right, a great challenge 😁

Wow. Soooo much easier than my E90. How long did it take you overall?
@JohnEngel Жыл бұрын
I know. I was surprised how easy it was. About an 1 hour total.

@@JohnEngel I've unfortunately had to do this twice, both times took over 7 hours each. All the upper cowling stuff that has to come off, strut braces, even the windshield wipers. Do not recommend.

Did you take out the spark plugs or can you leave them in?

Just left them in. This would have been a good time to replace them but it’s not mandatory. :)

That's awfully cynical of you... I didn't get that feeling at all, rather found this simple, direct, and helpful. People who assume others act only out of selfishness tend to be those who do so themselves..
