If you're going to replace the spark plugs you have why not
Replace them with the same type.?

Ive always just used the NGK's. They're usually easy to find, and have yet to give me a reason to think about switching to another brand.

i just installed Denso plugs in my 4.8is, no issues. OE BMW plugs were there, had 92k on them...one was broken in 1/2 inside the boot: weird.
