: : I've had my e12 for almost 6 years and have always used Bosch Platinum spark plugs. Well anyways, I took the car in for a tune-up and the guy recommended I start using NGK plugs, I was a little hesitant at first but gave them a try. A week later the car would not idle and hesitated upon acceleration, I freaked out, what the hell could this be! I decided to pull the plugs out and the ceramic insulation around one of them had cracked causing it to bridge over. I went to Pep Boys and picked up some Bosch plugs and they cured the problem. I would just like to recommend Bosch Platinum for anyone who hasn't tried them.

: Really?I was told by a mechanic never to use platinums,that they would damage my motor!Any thoughts guys and girls?

I've used the platinums in my '76 530i for as long as I can remember, and have never had an issue with them. I probably leave them in too long; usually change them every 20k, but even then they still look to be in good condition.
