Spark plug install question
Just a question to put my mind at ease. Today I swapped out the plugs in my 2007 Z4 M coupe. I went with the Bosch YR6LDE. I quickly searched the web for the recommended torque and found 20 ft/lbs. So they went in and I torqued them down to 19 ft/lbs given that I had put just a touch of anti-seize on them. After a test drive and all being fine I looked at the box and the recommend torque from Bosche was only 17 ft pounds. My OCD kicked and with the concern that I may have over torqued them I went back in and back them out and re-torqued them down to 16.5 ft/lb again trying to account for the anti-seize effect. All seems well but to put my mind at ease would there be any problems with what I did with backing them out and re-torquing? And is 17 ft/lbs the BMW recommendation as well?
