spark plugs

lads have yis any idea would bosch spark plugs off a six pot work ok in a 4 pot? cant get a definite answer anywhere so far

Yep I'm pretty sure they are the same. Check realoem.
I assume we're talking M54/52 to M43/N42?
Many BMWs use the NGK BKR6EQUP.

Cheers I'm gonna stick them in and see how it runs, hopefully they are the right ones

Just an FYI, the Bosch plugs will be standard life but the correct NGK ones are longlife platinum tipped jobbies.

i stuck the bosch ones in today and drove it 100 metres and nothin blew up so im hoping they are gonna be ok, they were about a tenner each so mid range price wise, i usually change them after 12 months which is only about 5000km so they should be ok, the old ones i took out were BMW NGK so could have been in since leavin the factory

Keep and eye on the warm idle. I've found Bosch plugs to be shite and cause a miss when warm

[nigzcurran]

What ones would you recommend for a 4 pot Michael?

[michael320]

I stick to oem or ngk equivalent.

Be grand with bosch there not mid range there a good make

Oil see how these behave over the next while, hope mixing two different types dosnt cause me any hassle
