Title: NGK Plugs
Post by: spanish_pants on April 19, 2010, 10:16:45 AM

Hey all, this might seem like a silly question. I´m going to replace the plugs on my car as i don´t think they´ve been replaced since i bought it. I have a set of NGK BKR6EK that most seem to recommend...do i need to gap these? :o

You're supposed to be a purist,  NGK plugs are BMW blasphemy. We are only allowed to run Bosch.

it'd be funny if some people didn't actually believe in bs like that

they run their japanese stereos, yokohama tires, chinese ebay angel lights, but they don't trust denso or ngk to make a SPARK PLUG
wake up slugheads! :(

my stock keyless remote is made by hitachi or something....

bosch supers are often hard to find and cost more than the ngk's
