stick with the stock plugs. i have heard that different plugs might not function properly and reduce performance.

i actually love the plus 4's from bosch. I got a boost in performance with those and the the new bavauto performance coils. Worth the money. Not only did I lose the stutter, my car is accelerating faster than I can remember.

do not go with bosch platinum +4 or anything like that. You need Bosch COPPER plugs. go to www.autohausaz.com and they will have the plugs you need. I tried running platinums for a while and at first I noticed a difference but then they decayed really quickly. I have been using stock coppers for a while now and my car hasn't skipped a beat.

don't know what pulgs i had since i hadn't changed them, but the shop put in Bosch Silver........ car feels a little sluggish on performance but also had the fan clutch replaced at the same time so that might be it. Don't know but remember it being quicker.

hey where did you find those plugs for under 4 dollars?

i have a 95 m3 and can't seem to find solid information on which plugs to use.

realoem, pelican parts, and autohauzaz all specify different plugs
