Spark plug Bosch or OEM BMW

The bosch plugs can be found at autozone or O'Reilly's for about 18 bucks each. Cant recall the exact spec, but vw uses the Bosch plugs stock, so its a direct oe swap.

Replace the spark plug with a Bosch. See if it will start and run.

I have a shelf of new parts for a bunch of my VW’s. All the cap and rotor parts I can find are the same for either car. They’re brand new. The plugs are brand new as well. Gapped by the Bentley. The plugs were “black” from trying to fire but not.

I purchased from a local auto parts store for my 07 E550 and SO's 05 E55 - stealership quoted around $1k, parts for each with Bosch Iridium plugs was about $125. Installed new plugs at around 70k for the E550 and OE plugs (also Bosch) looked clean and the gaps were spot-on

I had those on my 2017 civic 1.5t sedan that I had some performance mods done to and they worked great

Bosch spark plugs aren't bad, per se, but they're not really anything special.

I recently just replaced my spark plugs they were past due. So I bought the OE Bosch 9683. The engine runs fine, starts easy, no misfiring, no rough running. But after the plug change I am getting much worse millage.

I ended up checking the ignition timing again, put in a new coil, new knock sensors, put in another fresh set of plugs, set the DPR MA to +5, and I failed my emissions test with the same results.

when I worked for a Chevy dealer we hated Bosch plugs. Chevy's just don't seem to like them, they were often the culprit in misfire diagnosis.

Never use the Bosch ones for the E46s. Just not working right
