<br />
The BKR6E is an inexpensive conventional spark plug that provides good performance but has a shorter service life than platinum or iridium plugs.<br />
<br />
Because copper plugs wear more quickly, they should be inspected and replaced more frequently.<br />
<br />
'''Advantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Low purchase price<br />
* Simple single-electrode design<br />
* Good choice for owners who regularly inspect and replace their plugs<br />
* Common option for stock and modified engines when the correct heat range is used<br />
<br />
'''Disadvantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Shorter lifespan<br />
* Requires more frequent replacement<br />
* May not be ideal for owners paying labor for each spark-plug service<br />
<br />
'''Best for:''' Owners who prioritize low cost and do not mind replacing spark plugs more frequently.<br />
<br />

<br />
The BKR6EQUP was listed on the original page as the original-equipment spark plug.<br />
<br />
It costs more than a conventional copper plug but provides a substantially longer replacement interval.<br />
<br />
'''Advantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Original-equipment-style plug<br />
* Long service life<br />
* Reduced maintenance frequency<br />
* Good choice for stock street-driven vehicles<br />
<br />
'''Disadvantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Higher purchase price<br />
* More expensive to replace as a complete set<br />
* Does not necessarily create additional engine power compared with a correctly functioning conventional plug<br />
<br />
'''Best for:''' Stock or mostly stock E36 models where long service life and original-style operation are the priority.<br />
<br />

<br />
The BKR6EIX is an iridium alternative to the original-equipment platinum plug.<br />
<br />
It combines a fine-wire iridium center electrode with a longer service life than a conventional copper plug.<br />
<br />
'''Advantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Longer lifespan than a conventional copper plug<br />
* Fine-wire center electrode<br />
* Single-ground-electrode design<br />
* Less frequent replacement than BKR6E copper plugs<br />
<br />
'''Disadvantages:'''<br />
<br />
* More expensive than standard copper plugs<br />
* Not the original-equipment plug listed on the old page<br />
* Vehicle compatibility should be confirmed before installation<br />
<br />
'''Best for:''' Owners who want a longer-life single-electrode alternative.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== NGK BKR6EK Dual-Electrode Copper ==<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The BKR6EK uses two ground electrodes rather than the single electrode found on the standard BKR6E.<br />
<br />
This does not mean that two sparks occur at the same time. The spark follows the path requiring the least voltage.<br />
<br />
'''Advantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Dual-ground-electrode design<br />
* Conventional copper-core construction<br />
* Common BMW-style spark-plug configuration<br />
* Potential alternative for applicable E36 engines<br />
<br />
'''Disadvantages:'''<br />
<br />
* Replacement interval was not listed on the original page<br />
* Fitment should be confirmed for the specific engine<br />
* Multiple ground electrodes do not automatically produce more power<br />
<br />
'''Best for:''' Applicable engines originally designed for a dual-electrode conventional plug.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<div style="border-left:4px solid #1c69d4;background:#f3f7fb;padding:11px 13px;margin:14px 0;"><br />
'''General recommendation:''' For a stock street-driven E36, the original-equipment-style BKR6EQUP is the simplest long-service-life choice. The BKR6E is a good low-cost option for owners who prefer to replace and inspect their plugs more frequently.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== Spark-Plug Gap ==<br />
<br />
The spark-plug gap is the distance between the center electrode and the ground electrode.<br />
<br />
The original page listed the following gaps:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"<br />
! Spark plug<br />
! Gap in inches<br />
! Gap in millimeters<br />
|-<br />
| NGK BKR6E<br />
| 0.031 in<br />
| 0.8 mm<br />
|-<br />
| NGK BKR6EQUP<br />
| 0.020 in<br />
| 0.5 mm<br />
|-<br />
| NGK BKR6EIX<br />
| 0.031 in<br />
| 0.8 mm<br />
|-<br />
| NGK BKR6EK<br />
| 0.035 in<br />
| 0.9 mm<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<div style="border-left:4px solid #d97706;background:#fff5e6;padding:11px 13px;margin:14px 0;"><br />
'''Important:''' Do not assume that all spark plugs should use the same gap. Verify the specification for the exact plug and engine before changing a factory-set gap.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
Multi-ground-electrode plugs should not normally be adjusted by bending or forcing the ground electrodes unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer.<br />
<br />
== Replacement Intervals ==<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"<br />
! Plug type<br />

== Reading Spark-Plug Condition ==<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"<br />
! Appearance<br />
! Possible cause<br />
! Recommended action<br />
|-<br />
| Light tan or gray deposits<br />
| Normal combustion<br />
| No immediate correction normally required<br />
|-<br />
| Dry black soot<br />
| Rich fuel mixture, excessive idling, weak ignition, or incorrect heat range<br />
| Check fuel trims, ignition components, and operating conditions<br />
|-<br />
| Wet fuel<br />
| Cylinder not firing or repeated unsuccessful starting<br />
| Check ignition coil, injector operation, compression, and wiring<br />
|-<br />
| Oily deposits<br />
| Oil entering the combustion chamber<br />
| Check valve seals, piston rings, crankcase ventilation, and compression<br />
|-<br />
| White or blistered electrode<br />
| Excessive heat, lean operation, incorrect heat range, or detonation<br />
| Inspect the fuel system, cooling system, and engine calibration<br />
|-<br />
| Damaged or melted electrode<br />
| Severe detonation, overheating, foreign-object damage, or incorrect plug<br />
| Stop driving and diagnose the engine before installing another plug<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Replacement Procedure ==<br />
<br />
# Allow the engine to cool completely.<br />
# Remove the engine cover if installed.<br />
# Disconnect the ignition-coil electrical connectors.<br />
# Remove the ignition coils.<br />
# Blow dirt and debris away from the spark-plug wells.<br />
# Remove the old plugs using the correct spark-plug socket.<br />
# Inspect each plug and keep track of the cylinder from which it was removed.<br />
# Compare the old and new spark plugs.<br />
# Confirm the correct part number and gap.<br />
# Start each new spark plug by hand.<br />
# Tighten the plugs to the correct specification.<br />
# Reinstall the ignition coils.<br />
# Reconnect the electrical connectors.<br />
# Reinstall the engine cover.<br />
# Start the engine and verify smooth operation.<br />
<br />
== Installation Notes ==<br />
<br />
* Replace all spark plugs as a complete set.<br />
* Work on a cool engine to reduce the risk of damaging the aluminum cylinder-head threads.<br />
* Clean debris from the plug wells before removing the old plugs.<br />
* Never force a spark plug that does not turn easily by hand.<br />
* Thread the plug several turns by hand before using a ratchet.<br />
* Do not overtighten the plugs.<br />
* Confirm that each ignition coil is fully seated.<br />
* Inspect the coil boots for cracks, oil contamination, or carbon tracking.<br />
* Repair leaking valve-cover-gasket seals if oil is found inside the spark-plug wells.<br />
* Apply only the products permitted by the spark-plug and vehicle manufacturers.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-left:4px solid #e32636;background:#fff0f0;padding:11px 13px;margin:14px 0;"><br />
'''Avoid cross-threading:''' The BMW cylinder head is aluminum. A spark plug that is started at an angle can damage the threads and require an expensive repair.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== Common Symptoms of Worn Spark Plugs ==<br />
<br />
* Rough idle<br />
* Engine misfire<br />
* Difficult starting<br />
* Reduced fuel economy<br />
* Hesitation under acceleration<br />
* Reduced engine power<br />
* Check Engine light<br />
* Increased exhaust emissions<br />
* Poor operation during cold starts<br />
<br />
These symptoms can also be caused by ignition coils, vacuum leaks, injectors, compression problems, or fuel-system faults. Diagnose the problem before assuming the spark plugs are the only cause.<br />

=== Expansion Tank Kit ===<br />
<br />
'''Kit number:''' <code>17111723520KIT</code><br />
<br />
The expansion tank is one of the most important preventive-maintenance items in the E36 cooling system. The plastic becomes brittle with age and will eventually fail.<br />
<br />
When replacing the tank, inspect or replace:<br />
<br />
* Expansion tank<br />
* Upper expansion-tank hose<br />
* Coolant-level sensor, if faulty<br />
* Expansion-tank cap<br />
* Radiator mounting clips and supports<br />
<br />
'''Recommendation:''' Do not wait for visible cracking or leaking before replacing a very old tank.<br />

=== Thermostat Housing ===<br />
<br />
'''Housing part number:''' <code>11531722531</code><br />
<br />
An aluminum thermostat housing is a practical upgrade over an aging plastic housing.<br />
<br />
'''Important:''' The gasket supplied with some aftermarket housings may be lower quality. Use an OE-quality seal.<br />
<br />
'''OE housing seal:''' <code>11531740437</code><br />
<br />
Very little or no RTV should be necessary when the sealing surfaces and gasket are in good condition.<br />

<br />
'''Listed part number:''' <code>17111469179</code><br />
<br />
'''Nissens''' is generally the more budget-friendly radiator choice while still being produced by a recognized manufacturer.<br />
<br />
'''Behr/Mahle''' radiators are typically more expensive and are another good OE-style option.<br />
<br />
<div style="background:#fff5e6;border-left:4px solid #d97706;padding:11px 13px;margin-top:12px;"><br />
'''Aluminum radiators:''' A full-aluminum radiator is usually unnecessary for a normal street-driven E36. Installation may be more involved, and the upgrade is generally more useful for track or heavily modified vehicles.<br />

The upper radiator mounts hold the retaining clips in position and prevent the radiator from moving.<br />
<br />
Check that:<br />
<br />
* Both mounts are installed<br />
* The clips are fully seated<br />
* The rubber supports are not damaged<br />
* The radiator does not move excessively<br />

== Heater Hoses ==<br />
<br />
The heater hoses are located toward the rear of the engine and can be difficult to access. Replace any hose that is swollen, cracked, oil-soaked, hardened, or excessively soft.<br />

|-<br />
| '''Engine oil'''<br />
| 6.0–6.5 L<br>6.3–6.9 qt<br />
| Full-synthetic engine oil<br />
| Capacity includes the oil filter. The exact amount depends on the engine. Add gradually and verify the final level with the dipstick.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Cooling system'''<br />
| Approx. 10.5 L<br>11.1 qt<br />
| BMW-compatible coolant mixed 50/50 with distilled water<br />
| A normal drain may require less because coolant can remain in the engine block and heater core.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Manual transmission'''<br />
| Approx. 1.3 L<br>1.4 qt<br />
| Fluid matching the transmission identification label<br />
| Keep the vehicle level and fill until fluid reaches the lower edge of the fill opening.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Automatic transmission'''<br />
| Approx. 3–4 L during a typical drain and refill<br />
| Approved ATF matching the transmission identification label<br />
| Total dry capacity is higher. Check the final level using the proper fluid-temperature procedure.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Rear differential'''<br />
| Approx. 1.7 L<br>1.8 qt<br />
| 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil<br />
| Limited-slip differentials require fluid suitable for a clutch-type LSD.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Power steering'''<br />
| Fill to reservoir mark<br />
| Dexron-compatible ATF<br />
| Check the reservoir cap before adding fluid. Do not use ordinary power-steering fluid unless specifically approved.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Brake system'''<br />
| Fill as required<br />
| DOT 4 brake fluid<br />
| The amount needed varies during flushing and bleeding. Use only new fluid from a sealed container.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Clutch hydraulic system'''<br />
| Shares the brake-fluid reservoir<br />
| DOT 4 brake fluid<br />
| Applies to manual-transmission models.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Fuel tank'''<br />
| 65 L<br>17.2 US gal<br />
| Premium unleaded gasoline<br />
| Listed tank capacity is approximate.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Windshield washer system'''<br />
| Varies by equipment<br />
| Washer fluid suitable for the climate<br />
| Capacity may differ on vehicles equipped with headlight washers.<br />

| '''Engine oil'''<br />
| 6.5 L (6.9 qt)<br />
| Full-synthetic engine oil<br />
| Capacity includes replacement of the oil filter. Add oil gradually and verify the final level using the dipstick.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Cooling system'''<br />
| Approx. 10.5 L (11.1 qt)<br />
| BMW-compatible phosphate- and nitrite-free coolant mixed 50/50 with distilled water<br />
| The amount required during normal service may be lower because some coolant remains inside the engine and heater core.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Manual transmission'''<br />
| Approx. 1.3 L (1.4 qt)<br />
| Fluid matching the transmission identification label<br />
| Vehicle should be level. Fill until fluid reaches the lower edge of the fill opening.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Automatic transmission'''<br />
| Approx. 3.0–4.0 L during a typical drain and refill<br />
| Approved ATF matching the transmission identification label<br />
| Total dry capacity is substantially higher. Final level must be checked using the correct temperature and filling procedure.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Rear differential'''<br />
| Approx. 1.7 L (1.8 qt)<br />
| 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil<br />
| M3 limited-slip differentials require a fluid suitable for clutch-type limited-slip differentials.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Power steering'''<br />
| Fill to the appropriate reservoir mark<br />
| Dexron-compatible ATF<br />
| Do not use ordinary power-steering fluid. Check the reservoir cap and label before adding fluid.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Brake system'''<br />
| Fill as required<br />
| DOT 4 brake fluid<br />
| Brake-fluid quantity varies during flushing and bleeding. Use only new fluid from a sealed container.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Clutch hydraulic system'''<br />
| Shares the brake-fluid reservoir<br />
| DOT 4 brake fluid<br />
| Manual-transmission models use the same reservoir as the brake system.<br />

| '''Fuel tank'''<br />
| 65 L (17.2 US gal)<br />
| Premium unleaded gasoline<br />
| Listed capacity is approximate.<br />
|-<br />
| '''Windshield washer system'''<br />
| Varies by equipment<br />
| Windshield washer fluid suitable for the climate<br />
| Reservoir capacity may differ on vehicles equipped with headlight washers.<br />
