What's up with the e46 plugs backing out
-
Sounds like they weren't properly torqued to begin with. Oddly enough, I just had a spark plug blow out on my daily driver Honda about a week ago. Previous owner had replaced the plugs about 10k miles ago. Found another that was backing out too. Glad you found it before damage was done, I wasn't so lucky. Mine took the remaining threads out of the head and destroyed a coil pack. Ended up needing to get the head helicoiled.

never just trust the work someone else has done on your car. trust AND verify.

I can live by that.

Like above, spark plugs must ALWAYS be torqued and it's a good practice to put anti seize on the plugs when they're going in. If they're properly torqued then you won't have this problem.
