Did you check for proper gap settings before installing? If not, all the power and fuel efficiency comments are irrelevant and you're wasting your time and money. What is the proper gap settings for spark plugs for a 3.0Si inline six??? I'm curious since I'll be installing new plugs soon. Anyone know what the proper gap setting is?

Per NGK and Bosch, the plug gaps on the plugs for the X5 are not adjustable. Take them out of the box and use them. If they have been dropped, then the reduced gap is visible, and you shouldn't use them.
