Does anyone know if NGK really makes 2 different plugs under the BKR6EQUP number?
I checked with my local auto parts store and they sell the same PN BKR6EQUP for $9.95 and it is listed as the "OEM plug". Whatever that means.

Refer back to post #5 by CharlieHustle. Bosch (who is an OEM supplier) does it, so I would say it is not out of the question for NGK to do the same. The actual part numbers from the cheaper NGK plugs on Amazon.com are different from the BMW recommended plugs on Realoem.com, so it appears so.
Really, the plugs only need to be changed every 100k or so. Why not just buy the part number BMW recommends?
