Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Platinum Spark Plug 8169

Bosch 8169 is an OE Fine Wire Double Platinum spark plug built for consistent ignition performance and extended service life. It uses platinum on the center electrode and a platinum inlay on the ground electrode to help reduce gap erosion and maintain stable operation over time.

Compatible With select BMW and Mini applications, including BMW 230i, 330i, 430i, 530i, 540i, 740i, X1, X2, X3, and Mini Cooper models. The Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Platinum line is engineered to match original equipment spark plug specifications for double platinum applications.

Key Features

  • OE Fine Wire Double Platinum design for OE-style ignition performance
  • Platinum center electrode tip with platinum ground electrode inlay
  • Helps reduce gap erosion for longer service life
  • Resistor spark plug with 6000 resistance
  • Projected ceramic insulator design
  • Standard ground electrode configuration with one ground electrode
  • Flat seat, 12 mm thread diameter, 14 mm hex size, 26.5 mm reach
  • Pre-gapped at .8 for the specified application

Product Details

Bosch part number 8169 is a 4-cycle spark plug built with a nickel-chromium-iron center electrode core, copper ground electrode core, and ceramic insulator. The fine-wire platinum firing pin and platinum ground inlay are used to support consistent spark delivery while meeting original equipment requirements for double platinum spark plugs. This makes Bosch 8169 a direct-fit choice for many BMW turbo and hybrid applications, as well as Mini Cooper and Cooper Countryman models listed in the fitment data.

Common Symptoms This Part Can Address

  • Rough idle caused by worn spark plug electrodes
  • Hard starting from weakened ignition output
  • Misfire codes related to plug wear or gap erosion
  • Reduced throttle response from inconsistent spark delivery
  • Service intervals due for OE-style spark plug replacement

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, plug reach, thread diameter, seat type, and heat range before installation. Use the vehicle service specification for final torque and gap verification, even when the plug is pre-gapped. Inspect ignition coils and boots during replacement, especially on BMW 230i, 330i, 430i, 530i, 540i, X1, X2, X3, and Mini Cooper applications where plug service is often performed with coil service.

Quality Assurance

Bosch OE Fine Wire Double Platinum spark plugs are built to OE specifications for double platinum applications and are engineered for durability and stable performance in the listed BMW and Mini fitments. This part cross-references no additional part numbers in the provided data.
