Spark plug Autolite or OEM BMW

Autolite plugs work fine in my Toyotas.

Almost any spark plug is better than the Torch it comes with. The recomended is the NGK BP7ES, but is not made any more, many use the BPR7ES without issue, which is a resistor plug, but the manual specifically says to not use a resistor plug. I am using an [Autolite AR52 plug](https://a.co/d/7Z3keDh), it crosses with the stock Torch and NGK BP7ES and is a non-resistor plug. Many people hate Autolite plugs, but I have been using them for years in other vehicles and never had an issue, and so far it is working just fine in my 11500.

Since spark plugs don’t cost that much I played around with a few. My 05 TJ like the Autolite APP985 the best. Hated the NGK ZF5RN the most.

Cylinder Misfires started on #2, progressed to all, replaced all spark plugs and all spark plug wires. Cylinder misfires now gone. Spark plugs and spark plug wires all in bad condition

I replaced the spark plug with an Auto Lite spark plug. Engine light went away but still runs rough and misfire on acceleration.

Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. They couldn't get the spark plug out of cylinder 3 because the other dealership had over tightened it. They had to get a special tool to remove it. The tool BROKE because apparently it was so overtightened and mis-threaded. They finally got it out yesterday and sent the cylinder to the machine shop to get the head off. I just got word that there is a hole in the piston and the valve head is completely gone. They are saying now that it has nothing to do with the spark plug being overtightened. He asked about driving through water, and road conditions. It was a dry day. Not an issue. They said I need a new motor at this point.

Probably going to need to pull them again within a couple years. Autolites are the absolute worst sparkplugs.

If you need new spark plugs... Don't use Autolite.

Autolite plugs are junk. You’re better off leaving those 200k OEM plugs in it.

Throw those autolite plugs in the garbage where they belong
