Spark Plugs

[dave b]

Yesterday, my mechanic told me to use BMW plugs from the dealer instead of the aftermarket NGKs - anyone ever heard of this?

I thought the NGKs were the OEMs??

Thanks,

NGKs are fine, what you want to avoid is the new plugs claiming better performance and mileage. Get the correct plug for your car, the auto parts next door didnt carry them and to special order them was outrageous so I called BMA and got them there.

That's what I've been doing for the last 2 spark plug changes...

Was just curious. Maybe I'll be the guinea pig for the group and get the bmw ones

i've seen both ngk BKR6EK and bosch F7LDCR with bmw stamped on them, i've seen no difference between them so get which ever's cheeper aftermarket
