2012 Countryman S All4 Spark plugs
Hey, y'all!
I've searched forever, trying to find WHERE the spark plugs are located!
Looking under the bonnet, it's not obvious!
Thanks! Ray

It's in the middle, under a black plastic shield, that snaps in and goes around the oil cap

Pulled OBD2 code for #3 cyl misfire. Was going to put #3 plug into #4, & see if the code changes. That should tell me if it's a plug failure & not something else?

From the front of the engine to the trans side: 1-2-3-4
14mm 12 point socket to remove them, and torque is 18 ft lbs.
No anti-seize, no dielectric, just torque them to spec.

Thank you everyone, appreciate your help! BTW..took it to dealer & they said needs #3 ign coil (but will only replace as a set of 4), to the tune of $650! Nope! Doesn't need 4! These are replace as needed! They wanted $150 labor (included in quote), for a 5 minute job! All in all, I can do it myself (w/ oem Bremi) for $45!! Sure, there's some value to them pulling OBD2 codes, etc, but come on!!! Geesh!!

I agree with the as needed on coil packs, they don't all fail at once, nor do they take longer than 3 minutes to install.
Start with spark plugs, if that doesn't cure your problem try moving 2 coils around on 3 &4 to see if the misfire follows the coil, if so replace the failed coil.
