Spark Plugs! (OEM SPARK PLUGS VERY CHEAP + NEW)

I hope I am not breaking any forum rules but I found a decent website where you can purchase OEM spark plugs for cheaper then amazon prices

NGK BKR6EQUP Spark Plugs for the cost of: $66.80 - Click Here

I will be changing my Spark Plugs soon and I am going try and post up some pics

Good luck fellow X5ers.

Thanks for the link. I will be interested in knowing what your experience is with them.

Also, pics and info on spark plug change will be nice.

Similar price to my local Canadian Tire Store. They're NGK premium Platinum G-Power spark plugs priced at $11.99/pr...or 48 bucks set. Cheaper if you factor in the U.S./Cdn exchange. I'll be doing this job next week and I'll try and rememebr to take some photos.

Thanks for the info, but not much of a saving when factoring in the shipping charges. I bought mine from Amazon about a month ago and got free shipping. My car came equipped with the Bosch plugs. As you can see from the pictures, at only 60K miles, the pin-sized center electrode of the Bosch was pitted pretty badly. The NGK have a much larger center electrode, which I'm hoping would provide better performance than the original Bosch in the next 60K.

Thanks for the pics, I only have an idea of what mine can look like since im at 117,500k and I still have not changed my plugs.... :/

I am planning on changing them up Sunday. I will hopefully get the plugs in by Friday and ill have pics up by Sunday nightish?
