Anyone tried new Pulstar Pulse Sparkplug ?

Has anyone tried the new Pulstar Pulse Sparkplug ?

If you have, can you advise if you've noticed any improvement in horsepower and gas mileage as they state, I'm interested in possibly making a change on my 2006 325xi .

Or which spark plugs have you used that you recommend really showed some type of improvement overall ?

A guy I know with an Elise bought them and the dyno proved his butt dyno wrong. They were no better than the stock plugs or NGK Iridiums.

Stick with the BMW plugs if it is for the bimmer, our cars are so finicky.

Any claims to increased mileage/power are a lie and are unsupportable.

The too good to be true claims in advertising always seem sketchy to me. With the low tolerances of the new E9x cars, I'd stick with manufacturer specs for the plugs...
