Founded: 1916
Founder: Karl Rapp, Gustav Otto

BMW is a famous German automaker, whose main specialization is the production of cars, sports cars, SUVs, and motorcycles. In 1913, two small aircraft engine companies appeared in the northern part of Munich, the founders of which were Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto, son of Nikolaus August Otto, who is credited with creating the internal combustion engine. With the outbreak of World War I the number of orders for aircraft engines increased dramatically. Rapp and Otto decided to merge their companies into one aircraft engine plant. Thus a plant of aircraft engines appeared in Munich, which in 1916 was registered under the name Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Engine Plants). This date is considered the year of the foundation of the BMW Group.

Founded: 1909
Founder: Auto Union

The modern history of Audi began long before its formation as a separate manufac-turer within the Volkswagen concern. In 1934, it was part of the alliance of four well-known German brands Auto Union, where it was initially involved in the development of individual models under its brand and later as a supplier of technology for cars under the same brand name. When in 1945, all the factories of Auto Union were either destroyed in the war or dismantled and removed from the country. The company had time to change its location in 1940, settling in Bavaria. This is where the rebirth of Audi began after the end of World War II.

In 1909, the company Maybach was founded, named after the famous engineer and designer Wilhelm Maybach, who had previously worked for Daimler but left after a conflict in 1907. However, the new company of Wilhelm and his son Karl from its foundation until the end of the First World War was engaged in the development of aviation power units, cooperating with Count Zeppelin and the German armed forces. Today it is one of the most luxurious car brands in the world, synonymous with chic and the highest quality.

The history of German car companies began when they started to produce high-quality vehicles, and the characteristics of automobiles were valued more than their appearance. This focus on quality over form marked the beginning of a new era in the automotive industry, particularly for German car manufacturers.

Routine Inspection and Spark Plug Service Intervals
Audi's scheduled maintenance guidelines include routine inspections of the ignition system. Spark plug replacement may occur between 60,000 and 90,000 kms, though this varies by model. Some turbocharged engines or performance trims, such as the S or RS lines, may require earlier attention due to increased component stress.

For example, an Audi Q5 might use iridium or platinum spark plugs that last longer but still degrade over time. During a scheduled service, a technician will check for wear, deposits, and proper gap spacing to ensure optimal combustion and engine health.

Drivers often ask, Should I change spark plugs myself? While it's possible with basic tools and knowledge, Audi engines usually require specific torque values and proper alignment. Certified technicians protect your vehicle from damage and address related faults, like coil issues, during the same visit.

Common Symptoms of Ignition System Issues
Detecting ignition problems early can help prevent costly repairs. Some warning signs include:

Engine misfiring or hesitation during acceleration
Unusual fuel odor or poor fuel economy
Rough idle or vibrations when stopped
Check engine light triggered by codes such as P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire)
Hard starting or slow cranking
Many owners wonder, Can I drive with a bad spark plug or ignition coil? While it may be possible in the short term, doing so can damage the catalytic converter or reduce engine life. Prompt attention is always the better option.
