spark plugs

[dso]

hi guys,

Just wondering how many guys change their own plugs? Also, how often are guys doing it and which kind of plugs are people using.

Thanks

I do it with inspection 2. do it myself (super easy) with bosch platinum 2 or 4 depending on pricing I can get at the time.

I do them myself. NGK Iridium IX plugs is my choice. Tried the Bosch +4 and eventhough they look identical to the factory Bosch plugs that originally came with the car, they perform nothing close to them. Misfires, rough idles at times, never felt good.

Just my personal experience with the plugs though. 04 X5 3.0i, 79k miles...for what its worth.

go with what bmw specifies. change every 80,000 at least

100k mile interval with NGK iridiums I've heard

I did them at 90K with the VCG

I'm running the NGK Iridium IX w/no issues.
