Re: ***spark Plug***
gapping n heat range are something to watch out for
then u hv different materials that affect longevity...AFAIK, Platinum probably lasts the longest and it's priced in between the copper n iridium.
In all my previous cars, I always changed to aftr mkt plugs. My fav truly being the one in E46 M3, Volker Racing Spec II which is still going strong in Rasta's car I believe after some 40,000 kms
But for now, I m staying stock as Zuffenhausen people says they would void my warranty if I keh khiang changing spark plugs.

I think iridium last longer compared to platinum. Not sure but it seems that iridium plugs are the norm these days. Cause even volker is using iridium now.

Re: ***spark Plug***
Ok I did some reserach for 335 spark plugs and found this:
BMW part number 121 200 34087 = Bosch part number ZGR6STE2

Re: ***spark Plug***
ABD,
The stock plugs that comes with the car has a weak point. The resistance core within the plugs give up and this causes a problem during firing. The core is usually made up of compacted carbon infused powder to give 5K ohms of resistance. This problem can be intermittent and will be dependent on the vibration experienced in the engine. I have diagnosed 1 such problem before on a 335 and the owner had to get a set of 6 plugs. He was the first 335 to order the plugs from PML.
I am sorry to say that Volker does not make the 335 plus at this point of time cos the market is really small. But there are some Jap cars that are starting to use the same plug design. Your N54 uses a M12 thread in long format. The plug socket is a 12 sided design. The plugs have a 3 sided ground electrode.
As for the tip design, i will not comment too much online.. But suffice to say sparks like sharp points. And rounded shapes are used as insulators.
cheers

Re: ***spark Plug***
OT a little bit, has anyone ever used the Denso IK20s in the M42 engine? How's the performance like?
Also, Denso's catalog specifies mostly IK20 plugs for most of the BMW models whereas other brands like NGK have different models for different BMWs, anyone care to comment?
Thanks

Re: ***spark Plug***
I've used brisk LGS on my 630 for more than 6 months, installed my SnowDog @ J4C. It cost less than $50/pc installed.
I can only says it's fantastic. It solved my problem of the bald spot between 1500 and 3000rpm in normal mode. I had sprint booster which was only good for moving off from standstill; but it was a jerky move off and didn't solve the bald spot issue. Sports mode was also too hairy and unrelaxed for everyday driving.
Anyway, Brisk now allows me to rev freely to red line without effort. In fact, I got leg cramps in the beginning because I no longer need to step on the pedal as far to get a response. Just light feathering will do the trick. Now for the best part, I also got at least 80-100km more out of my 65l tank when I don't drive like a maniac.
The downside is that the plugs are only good for 30k km. But hey that's less than $0.01/km for my 6 cylinder block, my increased fuel economy more than covers that and I now enjoy my car a whole lot more.
I am a convert and I say to everyone "GO FOR IT!" No holds barred.

Re: ***spark Plug***
I saw the Brisk LGS at autobacs but I feel its way overpriced for plugs. i have changed to Bosch IR Fusion recently and its slightly better than NGKs.dgsk;415618 said:
Re: ***spark Plug***
The design concept looks similar. I chose the Brisk LGS because the prongs/legs were wider apart and thus theoretically allow more spark exposure to the fuel/air mixture. I have not been disappointed. To me, it was such a huge jump from OEM that I pestered the local distributor, an overly cautious guy who also distributes hurricane filters, to get me the plugs for all my Lambo. That's another story in itself. I was made to sign a release by the stupid agent being the 1st cowboy, but now the agent boss wants a set for his own demo and also for Lotus which they also carry. All Lambo owners who have installed Brisk LGS after me are singing high praises; and there are quite a few.
Yes, the price is higher, but like I said, it works out to 1cent/km for my 630 and 2cents/km for my Gallardo, and I get it all back and more on my savings on fuel when I remember not to "over enjoy" my cars. I am now clocking up the miles on my Gallardo because it's just such a joy compared to before. Even my friends who drive Toyota and Kia were sceptical that such a high end product would make a difference to their cars; but they all came back singing praises on performance and fuel economy; other than the Kia. It has not felt any improvement in fuel economy yet. I suspect he's still enjoying the new found power too much. HAHAHA!!!

Re: ***spark Plug***
You can get this at Juzz4Cars or KBS Motorsports. They will install them for you. Autobacs also carries them as do many other workshops. Check out the distributor's ads in WheelsAsia and Hot Stuff magazines for a list of authorised workshops.
I was told that they have the plugs for Honda as well. But interestingly they don't have them for current Mercedes Benz. The distributor said that he won't install them for French makes because their coils etc cannot handle the extra electrical thru put, or something like that.

Re: ***spark Plug***
Hi there,
Saw this old thread.
Any idea where I can find the cross reference chart for Denso Iridium Racing for the E60 N52B25.
Also, can you advise where you bought yours?
I'd like to buy a set, & hope to seek your advise.
Thanks.
