Plugs for E90?

E90CPhT · 06-07-2018, 12:29 AM

Hey All,

So, I checked RealOEM in anticipation for my first spark plug/coil change, and I am having trouble determining the correct spark plug to use. I will be getting Delphi coils (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-12138616153-1). RealOEM states that the Bosch and NGK plugs were ended in late 2009. However, it gives two separate listings for the same part number of OE plugs (12122158253). Would you guys get the NGK (Platinum or Iridium?) plugs or the Bosch plugs? FCP Euro says the NGK is the OE, whereas everything else is OEM. Not sure which would be better in the end. I know this has probably been discussed ad nauseum, just want to be sure. Thanks for any help you can provide!

My 2011 328i xDrive had BMW branded OEM NGK 95712 when I replaced them.

Check ngksparkplugs.com

I would use NGK plugs and coils. I went with Ngk plugs and Bosch last time as Ngk coils were not available.
