I began reading and ended up buying a set of NGK BKR7E-11 (Stock# 4464). From researching, it looks that the ones I got had the v-groove center and a little less projected tip. They are also 2 steps colder. It's been about 3k miles and the car is running great. Big difference over the Denso plugs as far as smoothness. I did not notice a difference in mileage.

Pros: running great, smoother operation

Cons: no mileage difference

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 3000 km

Part number: BKR7E-11

I can only comment on the ZFR5E-11 ... and let me say...THEY ARE AWESOME. Now of course these are not "official" OEM spark plugs for our engine, so just remember that...but the results speak for themselves. I'll say it again for effect... THE NGK ZFR5E-11 STANDARD COPPER SPARK PLUGS RUN GREAT IN VW 2.5L INLINE-5 CYLINDER ENGINES !!!!!!! Just had to gap down to .040"/1.0mm. The butt-dyno says YES, idle is smoother, MPG's are up (couldn't get more than 28 highway before, recorded multiple highway cruises on the NGKs at 72-75mph in the 30.X range!), and, oh yeah, did I mention they cost $2.50 per plug? The wallet also says YES. So run along now to your local auto parts store, where they are literally ALWAYS in stock (part #4435) and rejoice at the thought of walking out with 5 quality NGK copper plugs for less than $13.

Pros: awesome performance, smoother idle, improved MPG, low cost, always in stock

Cons: not official OEM

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Part number: ZFR5E-11

NGK BKR6EQUP. Those are the original and they tend to work well for the entire 100k change interval while many other brands/models can be problematic after a while.

Pros: work well, long interval

Cons: other brands problematic

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 100000 km

Part number: BKR6EQUP

I installed the NGK PFR7S8EG laser double platinum. They came gapped at .032. Initially I installed them at .032 gap and just yesterday I closed the gap to .028. Car runs strong and idles smooth at both gaps.

Pros: runs strong, idles smooth

Part number: PFR7S8EG

Belated follow up. I replaced the plug at the distributer as the signal from the hall sender was intermittent. Brand new Bosch plugs were had for cheap.

Pros: cheap, brand new

Cons: intermittent signal

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have replaced many brand new NGK's in newer chryslers after the customer gets them from a parts store. NGK's can and will cause ignition coil secondary circuit codes. Also, on hemi's they will set asd control circuit codes and cause the car to stall.

Cons: cause circuit codes, stall

Vehicle: Chrysler
