Spark plug, plug B46 ***resolved with update***

Fella's

pls confirm I need a special thin walled spark plug plug for removing
can I get it off Amazon ?

and yall sure I can't use an ordinary size one

I thought I had a thin walled one, I'll need to double check

oh yeah 14mm ?

I bought the plugs from a dealer, and due to the magnet inside, the insulator whould not fit

In the small print from amazon it says "fits most BMW's" grrr

The socket with the magnet works it just does not grab the entire plug properly.
Unless that brand is different.
You dont actually need a magnet swivel socket.
14mm 12point thin wall socket is perfect.

hi txs,

the actual magnet made the hole smaller, it wouldnt fit over the sparkplug

I looked at another one and it had the internal measurements so I'm trying that one next
I heard due to angle you really need a swivel socket ?
BMW documentation says to use one to save from breaking the plug
