If I need to gap the plugs I use a high quality gapper tool that doesn't have a sharp tip that can scratch the plug, so something like the BMS gapper tool: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1754091

I go over the exact details why I prefer this tool in my review.


Stock gap iirc is like 0.032", and I prefer to stick with the stock gap and only go down when necessary.
I'm going to check my old ones today after work - I'll then figure out what my new ones are at. Hoping it' just the winter gas, but I don't know. My timing was pretty clean before, I should have left it alone.
