My Ride: 545i
Model Year: 2004
Engine: N62
Hello All,
I was unsuccessful in my search attempts to find which spark plugs to use on my 04 545i. I am getting ready to change them, and wanted to know what plugs everyone is using on their 545i's. I have seen Bosch and NGK as OEM. Is one better than the other? Could you provide part numbers? Thank you in advance. I am looking to buy these online. The local dealer wants $25 a plug and would not even tell me which plug or part number.

they both the same.. your not really going to see any performance difference between the 2 plugs. Online is about $60 for 6 spark plugs. I just bought the Bosch # 0242236510 / FR7NPP332 - Pregapped Iriduim
Part # FR7NPP332
Part # FR7NPP332

Are you sure it takes the same plugs as your 528?
Just checking because I'm in the market as well.

Go to realoem.com. put in your vehicle model and year. Search for sparkplug and it will give you a model number to order. I went to the dealer send they wanted 35 a plug. Rockauto.com bought them all for 85 shipped. They ship fast too

I just ordered the ngk (8) from advance for about $48.

Order a couple of bags of disposable gloves to get to $75, use coupon VISA and save $30.
