So now we have a choice of Bosch, NGK or Autolite xp5325 for N52.

Motorking, could you please send me a set as well? Will post results/opinions.

Motorking are the iridium plugs out for the N54 now? If so will you do the same deal to try them out? I am getting ready to change my plugs and am looking for other options! Thanks, Chuck

I'm not a fan of bosch, but there doesn't seem to be much else we can use on your beemer. When ever i used bosch spark plugs in my previous e46 it ran horrible compared to when i used NGK spark plugs

While i'm at it which oil would be better to use

Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30 ( which is almost impossible to find in canada)

Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40

Liqui Moly 5W-30
I would only use NGK or Bosch plugs. Others may fit properly but not perform well.

As for oil, I’m told that German oil has higher standards than USA oil. I use Pentosin synthetic. Liquid Moly is good too but hard to find where I live and it’s very pricey online.
