Guys, from your practical experience, what is the lifetime on spark plugs?
And between BMW or OEM which ones have you changed and what is your experience? (I know this is debatable topic).....

My Ride: Orient blue '05 545i, Sport/Premium Pkg, 6Speed MT, Xenon, Navi, Blue2th, PDC,
I replaced my spark plugs at 90.000 miles. I used NGK BKR6EQUP (about $7 at AutoZone).
As you can see on the diagram you can also use BOSCH FGR7DQP
