Isn't dealer math great???

6 plus $320 hahahahahahaha. Lets see a trained mechanic should have no reason to take more the a half in hour. So even if they charge you the full hour at whatever $105 an hour. There saying the plugs are worth another $200. Must be some sweet ass plugs.

just get your mechanic to buy them or you can just get them from any shop and let your mechanic fit them in.
I DIY my so I never go to BMW to change them.
save loads of $$$$$$ by doing this and itis very simple job too.

It is not necessary to re-program.

have you noticed any change in car performance,start up, MPG.any difference? are they from the pulse plug or maybe you thought they were, where actually its just because you installed new plugs.
