Hi there Got an M635 engine to drop into a donor car. Went to take the plugs out today so we could turn the engine over by hand to see if it turns as its been sitting for a number of years - and had a prob. Cant get the usual size of plug socket to fit. Does anyone know what size the plug is on these engines - its currently looking at us trying to make a slimline socket to fit. Any help would be great Linda

The Halfords own brand 'T-Handle Spark Plug Wrench' (blue plastic handle) size 12mm works fine in the E30 M3 engine so it should fit the M635 plugs too. 4.99 quid ------------- E30 M3 convertible |

BMW ETK shows Bosch X5DC's, same as catalysed S14's, so a plug socket that fits an S14 should fit a S38.

just checked my toolroll (if you'll pardon the expression). The spanner that came with the car is amodified 18mm box spanner, the steel is slightly thinner than a normal 18mm box but you might gwet away witha standard box set and maybe a bit of filing on the corners ------------- malcolm |
