Spark plug prices

Aussieatlarge · 06-28-2021, 06:00 AM

You got to be kidding…
Repco wants $59 each for NGK ILZKBR7B8G.
Ecs Tuning wants $121 for six (AUD180) say $30 each

Sparesbox wants $24.99 each.

Am I missing something here.

Wow. Rockauto AUD130 for 8 plus $18 shipping. Here by the 8th.

Sparesbox is still a good deal. Are they legit?

Take a look at FCP Euro, assuming they delivery to Sydney for not too much money. They have kits for our cars that include the coils, too. Last time I paid about $230 US ($300 AUD?) for six plugs and coils. Lifetime warranty at no extra charge.

I have never heard of Sparesbox. Maybe someone else has???

Yes - Sparesbox are Australian, so not a bad option if they have the parts you need. Shipping will be cheap or free.

Clickable Automotive are always worth a look too (also Australian, and good prices but not a huge inventory).

They do a set of Bosch spark plugs for the 335i for only $84.

I buy most of my maintenance stuff through Clickable Automotive.

I purchased my spark plugs from Sparebox without any issues. As far as finding a msd80/msd81 ecu, you could try Andrew from 'Zero to 60 youtube' whether he is willing to sell you one of his spares.

Spare box sells various brands of coils. It looks like Delphi or Bosch were OEM but they seem to carry NGK, Goss, Pat and something they claim to be OEM
Any thoughts?
