Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble with your X3. A tune-up that includes spark plugs and ignition coils can vary in cost depending on labor rates and parts pricing in your area. I recommend using the RepairPal Fair Price Estimator at https://repairpal.com/estimator to get an estimate.

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Tune-up is a bit of an outdated term and I only say that because i want to make sure your issue gets the attention it deserves! Back in the day a tune up meant spark plugs, air filter, points, PCV valve if applicable. I don't want the shop to approach your Bimmer like a milage based maintenance. Spark plugs and ignition coils on your '14 X3 can depend on labor rates and whether you go with OEM or aftermarket parts. BMWs love their fancy parts, and those coils aren’t cheap. If only one or two coils are bad, you can replace just those, but if you're planning to keep the car long-term, swapping all six (or four, if it's a 4-cylinder) with the plugs is a solid move. If you’re DIY-ing, just be gentle with those coil connectors—BMW plastic gets brittle faster than a cookie in milk. If you need any further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554.
