Question with spark plug and engine air filter change

AndresReyesDev · 03-29-2023, 08:35 PM

Hi all, I am still having the problem on my 2011 i28 X3 and today, in an attempt to rule out problems, I changed the spark plugs and engine air filter.

How much time of use do you think these spark plugs have, are they very worn?

Regarding the engine air filter, does it look too bad to change? How much do you think it has?

Place your bets! Thank you very much to everyone who responds.

It looks like some are wet? Is that the case?

Just visually, your plug gap looks to be too large. I'm betting that those would have pretty rounded over and pitted electrodes if you looked under magnification. The air filter looks fine.
