Does BMW require spark plug replacement at 20,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
BMW requires spark plug replacement at 20,000 kilometers, as per manufacturer's recommendation for standard models. However, BMW M and N series vehicles require replacement at 40,000 kilometers. Commonly known as spark plugs or ignition plugs, their function is to discharge high-voltage pulses from the ignition leads, creating an electric arc between the electrodes to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. BMW is a German automotive brand under BMW Group, featuring four vehicle categories: i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (1, 2, 3, etc.). Taking the BMW X6 as an example, it's positioned as a SAC (Sports Activity Coupé) with dimensions of 4880mm (length) × 1983mm (width) × 1709mm (height) and a wheelbase of 2933mm. Design-wise, the X6 inherits BMW's signature kidney grille, accentuating its premium lineage, while the distinctive "Angel Eye" headlights with high-intensity xenon lamps highlight the front fascia.
