Spark Plug Socket

LOL Today I tried taking out my Plugs thinking, oh it should just be a standard 5/8 Spark plug socket.... NOPE its a 14mm 12 point deep socket. just ordered one off Amazon so hopefully I can get the plugs out by Monday! #BMWproblems

It's also narrower than your standard deep socket--I hope you got a narrow version!

Yes! I got one specific to BMW/Mini. Just blew my mind that it would have such an interesting plug style. I was underestimating the Mini once again. lol

Thanks for the link but I already bought one. Instead of the Magnet its got a "leaf spring" style gripper. Much better IMO
