2013 F30 328i Spark Plug question

Hi all,

I've been looking for the exact tightness to install the OEM spark plug to my car. Some youtube video mentions 17 ft-lb while some other mentions 22 ft-lb. I couldn't find it anywhere else. So I have to turn to this mighty forum for expert opinion. Please help! Thank you in advance.

I got the plugs from dealer and it has the tightness on the packaging. Problem solved.

Make sure you use a wrench with Nm markings and not foot pounds.

Thanks for the reminder. I believe 23 Nm is actually 17 ft-lb, right? So yeah, will make sure to apply the right number accordingly.

What is MHD 2+ tuning? I am still very new to this. Not planning to tune anything just yet. Does it require coding to tune MHD 2+? If so, I am not there yet. But thanks. I'm sure I will be there some day :-)

It's a flash tune... if you dont know what it is, don't worry about it, as it will not affect spark plug torque.
