Guys
Which Spark Plugs do you prefer for your E60 (I6 - N52) engine. Bosch or NGK and where can you find them except the dealer.

NGK (ILZFR6D11)
Bosch (FR7NPP332)

This is for the US Market.

Thanks

It likely depends on what country you're in...

How many miles/kms do you have in your E60? According to iDrive I don't need to change those in a while (Don't have my car nearby, but I think it said something like 100,000 miles)

If BMW designed the engine, thay just may have a good idea of what sparkpluges fit.

It's like all afterfits, what do you really gain - except pain?

BMW recommends both plugs that I mention in my original post.
Looking from people who have used both to let us know if they have noticed any differences.

WCCL (Who Could Care Less).

It's like Castrol, Shell or Mobil1 oils.

As long as you play with the best.

Only Top of the Line

Wote with money.

Thanks. From what I know most of the US car have the NGK but it seems they are extremely difficult to find anywhere else but the dealer.
