    Default Spark Plugs

    Hey everybody ,
    I wonder if this plugs (bosch super 4):
    http://www.boschautoparts.co.uk/pcPlug4.asp?c=2&d=1

    will fit my 1994 BMW 520 with M50 engine (6 cyl).

    It has 4 contacts. Do you guys know if it is of any use having 2 or 4 contacts instead of 1? Or is just hype?

    Thanks.

    the M50 engine always has spark plugs with at least 2 gnd electrodes.

    i'd use NGK BKR6EK, this spark plug is the same that BMW recommends and sells for the M50.

    don't waste your $$$ on platinums or other "super" plugs.
    Go with stock plugs from ngk

    So you say NGK performs better than Bosch super 4? "Super 4" sounds a lot better than "stock NGK"


    What is your opinion guys, which will perform better? They cost the same (or nearly the same).
