Description
BMW and Mini started using a newer design spark plug with direct injected turbocharged engines starting with the N54 twin turbo engine. The new spark plug and ignition design require a specific spark plug tool. This thin walled, 14mm, 12 point spark plug socket has been designed to fit in the narrow spark plug tube as well as safely remove the spark plug from the cylinder head.
Never attempt to remove a spark plug with a traditional spark plug socket from any of the BMW or Mini applications in our application guide. Even if the spark plug socket fits in the tube the traditional hex style spark plug socket will strip the spark plug rendering it impossible to remove.
BMW special tool 121 220.
About Genuine BMW
The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
