X5 3.0i 126K miles
Just replaced the spark plugs with NGK Iridium. Much easier than I thought thanks to youtube videos and feedback from many of you here. Also, picking up this magnetic was huge!

Couple questions
1) Old spark plugs removed were Bosch 582 R3 and it had BMW stamped on it. Does this mean they were replaced before? I first leased for 3yrs then purchased my X5 so technically I'm the original owner. If they were replaced, I'm assuming it was done at the dealership when I ended the lease and purchased it. It had to go through a complete inspection/service before I took possession.
2) I purchased the NGK Iridium spark plugs from Amazon. Car runs fine after I replaced them but how do I know these 6 spark plugs are all good?
