R53 Spark plug torque feeling ..

So its been about 35k since I last changed my plugs and I went ahead and did them yesterday.

Haven't done them in a while so I cant remember the feeling, but it felt like it took too many turns to get to 19 ft. lbs. (range was between 18 - 21 ft. lbs.). Yes, I use a torque wrench so just wondering if it's been the same for others torquing down the plugs?

I guess this is more a reassurance that I didn't strip threads, but it seemed fine. It's just been a while since I've been motoring my MINI. kept in storage for a bit.


Thanks.
