Spark plug Bosch or OEM BMW
That's what I am running in my wife's 94 and the idle in her car is real smooth...
I run the F6DTCs and have great results with them
I've run NGK BKR7E's, NGK BRK7IX's, Bosch FR7LDC, and Bosch F7LTCR's. Of all of these plugs I noticed the best performance out of the F7LTCR's.
I switched to a Bosche plug F7LTCR $4.41 a piece from rockauto.com. They last 4 times longer, and run much better than the BKR7 series.
Bosch FR8DS plugs are stock aba (2.0L 8v) plusgs and are awesome.
VAG engines seem to like their factory recommended Bosch plugs better than any other.
You do know that a bosch "7" is 1 range HOTTER than stock and 2 ranges HOTTER than a NGK"7"
My OEM coil was failing at the time, & I replaced the plugs from Bosch -+4's to NGK V-Powers (copper)so I'm sure the plugs contributed aswell. It always took afew extra cranks to start with the Bosch +4s......
i just changed my spark plugs, figuring i would do a tune-up before winter..the car was running fine before..changed the oem plugs that were in them to bosch +2's..well that was when the misfiring started...the car at low rpm's, lets say, 1500rpms, would stutter if i tried to full throttle it,...but when i get to about 2500rpms the stuttering would stop
Platinum +4s are the worst plugs you can use. They have a bad habit of losing tips into the cylinders. I don't think I need to explain the results of that.
