Spark plug NGK or OEM BMW
I don't cheap out on the car so everything i put most by a name brand. New Parts; 37. NGK Spark Plugs
I did track it extensively, probably 3-4,000 km of track use. The only thing it needs is brake fluid and better pads and you're good to go. My car was flawless for the entire time I had it. It threw a CEL right before I sold it that was solved with a simple spark plug change. It never overheated at the track and it was a lot of fun there and very refined and comfortable for highway travel.
Replaced old plugs, DENSO W20EXR-U, with new NGK BPR6ES. Idles a lot more smoothly now.
I prefer NGK for both plugs and wires.
Just wanted to let you know i done the change and it was the easiest one i have ever done in my life! I went with the NGK Laser Platinum PZFR5Q-11 , but wanted to let you know just in case it could keep some out there from not checking the gap on these plugs prior to install. I thought they were supposed to come pre-gaped, but every one of them were set @ .040, instead of the manufacture recommended .044. Anyway, glad I checked, and thanks for the reply!
I use cheap-o copper NGK V-Power all copper plugs on my M Roadster that produce max power (according to a cohort of enthusiast whack-jobs who repeatedly dyno their cars to look for .0005% differences in power output), but need to be changed every year. No problems thus far.
I use NGK's, and they seem to do just fine.
Oil change every 5-7k miles Mobile 1 European Formula (0w-40) Seafoam every 5-6 months New NGK Laser Platinums Plugs (500mi ago) 1 new coil
Just swapped out some pretty old looking OEM bosch plugs that were gapped at .045 for some reason. Put in PFR6Q at .032\". Didnt notice much of a change.
The NGK's listed have a colder heat range. Great in the summer, it will misfire like crazy in the winter
