If you want to vear away from the OEM Platinums and want to experiment with the single electrode Iridium, then the proper part number for that Iridium plug should be BKR6EIX.
BTW...the Bosch is an acceptable replacement plug as both Bosch and NGK are OEM suppliers to BMW. Just because a few on certain message forums had bad experience with Bosch for one reason or another doesn't make them bad plugs.

I don't remember the part number and I'm pretty sure this thread was the first time I gave an actual NGK part number. I posted two links two other threads just for that reason, so just my opinion isn't used. My previous posts were in regards to getting them at Autozone or somewhere cheaper than the dealership, so I believe you're misquoting me. That part number I posted was just a copy and paste from ECS tunings (overpriced) sale of NGK spark plugs. :: ECS Tuning :: NGK Spark Plugs BKR6EQUP ~ Set Of 8 - Now Available !!! - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum Thanks for your correction on the NGK part number. I agree the Bosch's can be used, so it maybe it was a little abrupt to say that he got the wrong ones. All these threads end up coming around full circle, and coming from the 7 boards, dealerships techs on these and other forums, etc. the NGK's are just the more popular ones since we share the same motor...
