I replaced my NGK's at 64K. It did help a rough idle but still not satisfied with idle. I purchased the Bosch +4's direct replacements for 7 bucks each. I spent 3.5 hours changing plugs. 1.5 on 6 and 2 hours on the rear two. No big deal just had to loosen the A/C lines on the right and the battery terminal on the left.
I was surprised that it is a BOSCH system and BMW used Japan NGK's. Why not use a BOSCH plug with a BOSCH direct coil on plug???
Anyway - Its better.

I use Pulstar Plugs (new technology) and I am very happy with them after being driving nowadays for 3 months after I installed them myself.
by the way it costs $25 per unit!

Does anyone have a DIY for a 530? I assume since it's a V6 those last 2 hard-to-get plugs don't exist.
Thanks,

Not true... More problems exists with a 530 V6 engine... It is impossible to replace spark plugs in V6 BMWs.
I'll let you think about that one...
