Spark plugs 100k miles - $25
use BMW OEM plugs from the dealer. Yes the are expensive but I have never had a problem with misfires and I've put over 100,000 miles on my current E36 and over 150,000 on my first. While they are suppose to work and be interchangeable according to the manufacturer the NKG you buy aftermarket are supposedly different than what you get from BMW
I have an 02 4runner with 289,500 miles. I've had it for the last 106,000. Replaced the timing belt/ water pump twice. Replaced spark plugs twice. New brakes a few times.
Unfortunately no--replace them. The electrodes wear down and become less efficient. The good news is that iridium plugs have a tremendous lifespan. You're supposed to change them every 100k miles/167k km.
O drove my Corolla to the point the spark plugs weren't firing and the car wouldn't start. I changed the plugs and it ran great after that.
I had similar problems with mine until I tried stock F80 M3 plugs. Mfg #12120039634KT1. Mine was 07 N54 FBO.
Maintenance: 39th Oil Change (every 10K) and Tire Rotation, 13th Engine Air Filter, 13th Cabin Air Filter, 3 brake jobs, 3 coolant flushes, 2 spark plug changes w/carbon cleaning, no suspension work, no transmission service, 1 Break Down at 280K Due to a Design Flaw In The MGR Cable Which Powers The Hybrid System $5200, cat issue at 380K due to bad gas, no hybrid battery replacements in case you were wondering, does not consume oil
I do need to change the spark plugs. I haven't done that in 10+ years and 100,000+ miles. It just started misfiring slightly I believe (haven't checked the code yet), but it runs and drives well still.
Bought a 03 100 series with 241,000 only issue was the number 7 spark plug blew out, had to re-tap it and install a aluminum sleeve, and replace the coil
