Not really clued up on leads but when i worked for halfords we sold a few sets of megaleads and NOT ONE set actually fitted the car they were supposed to!

Does BMW fit leads and plugs like this? Does any manufacturer fit plugs and leads like this?
The answers should answer your question!

[pards]

no they dont but that was why they called them performance mods i thought.

if everyone thought like that then every bmw would be the same.

is that the split end v shaped plugs? if so ive used them on another car and it ran like a bag of sh1te so were quickly changed back.

[pards]

yeh it is those ones. i have also heard that sometimes the pins break of and mashes up the piston and cylinder.

sureley the leads would be better than standard ones as they have a twin core?

your leads really are only as good as the coil that is sending the charge to the plugs putting fancy leads on your car wont really improve anything

[pards]

is there any better coil that i can buy to match the leads?

[town325i]

dont no really ive only ever used standard parts new ones from the dealer will be about the best

What exactly are you trying to achieve here? You have a BMW, not a Ford, Vauxhall or some French sh*te!
When the E30 was designed, the job was left to engineers, and the accountants were kept on a very short leash.
The ignition system has all the 'performance' it needs as standard, and there is nothing to be gained.
The same applies to the air filter and the exhaust system - on an unmodified engine, they are both perfectly adequate to do the job asked of them.

i agree stick with the bmw stuff , i have tried other plugs which promised the earth and caused nothing but problems .
if the leads are shot which is unlikely get a good second hand set

thanks foe the advice.
