DIY Spark plug

Hello guys....
I m planning to replace the spark plugs for my wife car 2000 323i.
Now I found the way to do it in some post DIY in this forum.
But I got few question...Which brand and type would you suggest
Some people suggest Bosch and some suggest NGK
The car been running great and actually just have a long road trip from CA to TX.....
The mileage now 104K and I just did oil change before road trip
Look foward for your advise and opinion, thanks...

personally I prefer the Bosch plugs. The NGKs are a good brand but they don't seem to last as long.

I use Bosch, I've had no problems with them. Actually, I use Bosch in all the BMWs we have.

Great thanks for the tips guys....
That s what I ve been use as well for my ML430....
well there are quite some projects for this 323i for the moment...
I heard sound in driver side when it drive and i think could be the ball bearing...but the car kind of low now so I would need to change the spring back to normal first cz i think this car is too low....
I m planning to put H & R 1.4" drop only and realiement all tires ..
if sound still there then i ll check the ball bearing....
anyone know DIY ball bearing...thanks.....
have a great weekend guys
