Since you had the Insp II done recently, take 10 minutes and pull the plugs yourself and give them a look.

thank you for the insight.

Well I supplied the shop with the NGK Part #BKR6EQUP that where recommended by ECS tuning. Now I dont know what the old plugs where I think NGK but prior to my Inspection 2 I was still getting crappy gas mileage even with my old plugs in and with the new ones there is no change.

I suspect the coils are weak. I remember in my old E36 M3 supercharged I changed the coils and plugs and noticed a horsepwoer increase of 25 to the wheels. Got better gas milage as well so I am thinking new coils ?? Spark maybe weak ? I just had a coil fail on me as soon as I drove from the shop

Anyone else with some ideas
