And this one:

Which comes to about $77!
I suppose my confusion lies in knowing what TYPE of spark plug I should buy, and why some of them are markedly more expensive. Are some materials better, or even mandatory for my vehicle, or is most of it just markup?
I read up on iridium and copper plugs, but really don't know the benefit of either, or whether one or the other is essential for my system.
I'd really like to understand the logic behind it's physics/chemistry of the material benefits, if possible. That what I'll have less silly little questions for y'all.
I have a 2010 328i Sedan (E90), btw.
Lastly, forgive my ignorance - I have ton to learn. |
I've used both NGK Iridium and Bosch platinum for about $7 each. There is absolutely no difference. Got them from fcpeuro.
