R56 Maintenance
Maintenance
Mr r56s being my first turbo car, i'm not that experienced with these kind of engines, would it be wise to change the spark plugs at 62000km?
Also, i noticed alot of black residue on my exchaust tips, alot more than other r56s i see on the road. I do drive it hard, i work on the road so i'm always pushing it.
What are some of the things i should do to keep the engine running at its best?
Thanks

The factory plugs are ILZKBR7A-8G NGK Iridium plugs. They tend to last a really long time. If it worries you with that kind of mileage then pull them and take a look. Make sure that the head is cold before you take any plugs out. The factory installed gap is .031".
Keep up on oil+filter changes, take a look at your air filter, inspect the drive belt, and keep driving the snot out of your car.
