NGK spark plugs ?

Post by T.Hanson »

A set of new NGK's came in the trunk of the 633. Correct number, etc.

I'm a Boscher by training. Anybody used NGK's for me to make an exception and just run the free ones for awhile ? I.e., do they work as well as Bosch ?

Yeah, if they're the right ones, NGKs are fine. Just remember, no platinums! I had 45K on a set of NGKs in my E28 one time when I took it in to be smogged. :shock: And it passed just fine on that M30 car. I changed them shortly thereafter once I realized how many miles were on them. :lol:

I am a huge fan of NGK plugs. I run them in both of my old BMWs.
