Spark plug OEM BMW or AC DELCO

Fresh AC Delco copper core plugs are all you need. Start with the stock replacements and go from there.

I just replaced my spark plugs on my 2012 1.4T with the ACDelco 41-121 ones.

Use only AC DELCO ignition components for GM vehicles, and that includes spark plugs. The factory plugs work perfectly.

AC Delco CR43TS.

Copper plugs are actually the best for performance, precious metals just last far longer.

use BMW OEM plugs from the dealer. Yes the are expensive but I have never had a problem with misfires and I've put over 100,000 miles on my current E36 and over 150,000 on my first. While they are suppose to work and be interchangeable according to the manufacturer the NKG you buy aftermarket are supposedly different than what you get from BMW

Standard replacement CR43TS Delco plugs, and a decent brand of wires. Bosch makes nice wires. Our engines don't exactly tax the ignition system, so if it's functional, you don't stand to gain much.

If you are willing to put some money into it before resorting to drastic measures, try replacing all 6 of your spark plugs and ignition coils. Might help in your case, or it might not.

Bought a set of iridium plugs that were wasted after 15k miles. Amazon gave zero fucks. AC Delco gave zero fucks. The scum bags who sold them changed their name and keep selling.

When I got my S60 (2006, T5) the previous owner had some copper AC Delco plugs made to fit an 850 non turbo in it and I wondered why there was very slow engine response.
