BMW’s turbocharged inline-six engines bury their spark plugs in deep, narrow plug wells with surrounding obstructions that a standard plug socket will not clear. This 14mm/16mm thin-wall socket with flex joint makes plug changes on N54, N55, N20, N26, S55, N63, B46, B48, and B58 engines straightforward rather than a knuckle-scraping ordeal.
- 14mm and 16mm sizes — covers all common BMW spark plug thread sizes
- Thin-wall construction — clears the plug well without contacting the cylinder head
- Flex joint — articulates to reach plugs at angles a rigid extension cannot access
- Magnetic tip — holds the plug during extraction and insertion
- Chrome vanadium (CR-V) steel — rated for the torque spec without flex or rounding
- 12-point sleeve — engages plug hex cleanly even in low-clearance positions
