Spark plug NGK or OEM BMW

The NGK iridium I mentioned before does not have the correct reach. The website says they are the same, but they are not. I think the database is wrong. When I go back to the copper NGK that does have the correct reach, the car drives better. I had all three in my hand and the iridium is shorter from the end of the threads down (reach). NGK websites say they are the same .75 reach. They are not the same in my hands. The copper plug is. NGK 4435.

Threw new plugs in it (NGK BKR7E; I like that 3 of my cars run these now... makes life simple)

I swapped out to APR coil packs and NGK-R7437-9 plugs at the recommendation of APR after going stage 1. No issues after about 8K miles.

NGK has NEVER let me down in any of their products. I use them in my American and Japanese cars, trucks, motorcycles, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, weed heaters, and chain saws.

I've been running the 2.0t/r8 coil packs for a few years now and haven't had issues with them.

NGK actually makes the original plugs for the mk3 focus (because the engine is based on a Mazda L series) so if you're doing plugs for a focus using NGK will be just as good if not better than the "oem" brand

As long as you use the right type and gapped correctly, then you are fine. NGK, Autolite, Motorcraft, bosch, all are fine.

I have been running them for 50,000 miles with is20 then is38 setup. Work perfect.

I've seen with a digital tachometer a 1,000rpm difference between a laser brand spark plug and the oem ngk spark plug in a chainsaw. So for me it's what the oem uses is what I put back in.

Went through both ngk and autolite, didnt like they're spec'd plug for it.
