    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.

    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
