japanese plugs?

What's next... APC plug wires you swiped from Kragen?

I suppose you could check www.nopionline.com . . . . not too sure they have BMW stuffs but its worth a try.

NGK makes high revving motorcycle plugs as well as supplying some of the top racers with plugs, I think they know what they're doing. I've heard nothing but bad things about the GERMAN bosch plugs. The new E46 M3 comes with NGKS from the factory.

Don't believe me here's the link

Next time we should think before we type.

www.sparkplugs.com or is it sparkplug.com

Some people posting here are idiots.... 99% of the f/i guys run these NGK plugs with their f/i setup on the bimmer ... the NGK plug is a great one ...

i went to sparkplugs.com and they were about $9-$10 each. car runs fine. i can't say they are any better or worse than the bosch, but the car starts.

I worked at a BMW race shop and a good percent of E36 were touchy when it came to plugs. Alot of E36's suffer from the irradic idle and surge problems from bosch plugs especially the platinum ones. Once we switched to them to NGKs they ran fine.

Which ones did you get for $9-$10 the only ones I found on sparkplugs.com were $4.79

I use NGK plugs as well, and my car runs the best when using NGK's compared to others I've tried. Plus, they're cheap!

Dont knock things unless you know what you're talking about

it depends, if you're FI'ed the cheap ngk's wont do. over time the gap increases. check the FI board on bf for a thread on this.

I believe all plugs will lose their gap with FI engines, not just NGKs. My car has never had a hiccup using those plugs, and I havent checked my plugs since I installed them over a year ago. It has run absolutely flawless.
