No they use Bosch
For BMW 328xi: Part # FR7NPP332 http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...3435&ppt=C0334 Don't get NKG, you might have to gap them properly or at least check the gap to make sure they are done correctly. If you order OEM replacements from Bosch they already come gapped for you to spec. |

For the N52 in your 328xi we typically suggest either NGK High Power PLZFR6A11S s, NGK IR ILZFR6D11 s, or Bosch FR7NPP332.
The genuine BMW NGK made plug for your car is the ILZFR6D11 |

The OEM ones that came in your car are Bosch, so replacing them with the same model is what I would recommend. Even for my plugs (for a 335) you can buy them in the US for half the price at some places as opposed to others. Its all about how they are marked up, and if they are an online store as apposed to a physical location which will have higher overhead and usually charge more for products. To make yourself feel comfortable, you can always check the gap of the plugs when you receive them. This is what you should do just out of habit. The reason I don't for the 335 is because our plugs have 3-prongs and requires a special gapping tool if the gap is off. For the 328 plugs, they are single ended and can be gapped or adjusted very easily if you have the tool which costs $5 at any auto store. |

FOR NA engines, NGK are generally recommended over the Bosch plugs.
That is opposite for N54 engines. NGK for na engines you don't need to really worry about the gap. Mine were pre-gapped correctly. I bought them cheap from the states. I would definitely go NGK spark plugs. Search this forum and you will see that it is recommended more. |
