Upgraded to NGK Plugs

What a cheap way to wake up a stock 335is!
If you haven't done this yet, you should....


FWIW, My stock BMW Plugs had 30k miles on them.

If replacing plugs "wakes up" a stock 335 then MHD must be a "shotgun to the face"

LOL...I'm on my way to a tune..Maintain before Modding and the car seemed a little flat so I did the plugs while changing the VCG.

I'm just surprised by the result of just changing plugs could do for the N54.

Do you have FBO's on your 335?

For the rest; Different sparkplugs will not give you any more performance on a stock car. Tuned +100hp engines need them (colder plugs) to avoid misfires/timing corrections.
I don't disagree with this statement, but I would suggest checking your spark plug gap as well. Some plugs come pre-gapped but it doesn't take very long to check and gap them if needed. On my 300zx I was getting spark blow out because I wasn't gapped tight enough.

On the N54 it's recommended to gap your plugs to 0.022" up to something like 25psi.
