Odd question for you F30 people.
I had a friend from work mention a shop he recommended, and I checked out their Instagram. First post I run across says, "@[name redacted] back in today for a Remus axle back and spark plug gap. Earlier this week got his wheels and tires together for him."
My first instinct was to tell him to run. Spark plug gap? Really? I'm not pretending to know everything, thus the question to you guys who have them, but is there something special about the new turbo motors that require people to set the plug gap?
I though gapping plugs died in the 80's.

If you buy from the dealer for your specific car, they should come pre-gapped, but I always make it a point to check the gap regardless as I've received plugs in the past where the plug gap was not set correctly. I was a tech for many years for Ford. More than once I had to reset the plug gap on new plugs because they were not properly set from the OEM supplier. It's rare, but it happens.
