If you change the plugs; use the recommended plugs. I used Bosch Double Iridiums in my truck and they've worked good for 4 years now.
I just picked up 6 Bosch dual electrode double iridium spark plugs from autozone near me and threw them in. Fires great!
Make sure you use genuine NGK plugs, otherwise you will have problems.
I used the gimmicky Bosch Platinum 4+ plugs which solved that problem (no more CELs) but sometimes idle is still a bit rough.
I got a new set put in some NGK’s.
Yeah, NGK's are great. Get the best you think you can afford.
I have the ruthenium. Bought pregapped from Mountune. They are fine. They work no noticable change. I've put about 200k miles on them between by ST and RS and changed every 50k miles with no issues (both tuned and stock).
I'm running NGK Iridium NGK LTR71X-II 1 step colder but I am tuned. Been running these sparkplugs since the car had 5000 km. I have 45000 km now in 8 years and a half and I have changed 3 sets as it is recommended to change them a bit sooner than 30000 km on a tuned car.
My s2000 ate the Bosch plugs I put in, which were rated for the car/f20.
I changed the spark plugs on my X5 with Bosch ones. My mechanic showed signs of being upset with me for not bringing the genuine BMW ones... Fast forward to a week ago - the car throws a check engine light and OBD scan shows faulty oxygen sensor heater circuit. My mechanic linked this to the Bosch plugs, suggesting they might not be the correct type. I ended up replacing them with genuine BMW plugs and an O2 sensor, which cleared the codes and improved power. My learning is that Bosch has many SKUs, and it's hard to ensure the exact OE part number, potentially leading to incorrect plug types (e.g., 'double platinum' instead of 'laser iridium') for BMW, costing more in the long run.
