Hoover, I don't want this taken the wrong way but could you actually notice any difference between Bosch (standard) and the NGK's. I don't see any point paying way more for something if there's obvious benefit. Dougster, what year is your M3? Mine's a late '95 and it has a different head (GT one I think) so needed special Bosch plugs (different size thread)which took a few days to come in. So make sure you give the vin number when ordering! Edited by flyingalexf68 |

I have put Denso Iridium plugs in my 318iS and have noticed a better acceleration and fuel economy since fitting 6 months ago. Opie Oils had an offer on at the time..(which is still on) they aint cheap but, you get what you pay for.. www.opieoils.co.uk Think you'd need the IXU 22 plugs for an E36 M3 (3.0l S50/ B30) Bearing in mind these are newer technology plugs compared to OEM recommended, i'd have thought there to be improvements in build and efficiency, and it's proved right for me anyway.

Mine is a late '94 3.0. As far as I know it has the standard head. |
