There should only be one type of rotor arm for your car, BMW part number is 12.11.1.734.110

My local Halfords sells the NGK's so you might want to try a larger store or ask if they can get them in for you. If you really can't find the NGK's then Bosch will be just fine. As long as the thing sparks then that's all you need. All these fancy grooved ones and fancy plugs are just a gimmick.

Problem with plugs from Halfrauds, is that they come in packs of four, so you have to buy eight.
I get on OK ith Beru plugs from GSF or Eurocarparts.(Can't remember which).
