I'm having an oil change on Monday and want to change my plugs too. Are some better than others, or are they much the same? Perhaps you could recommend a brand?

IMHO, Bosch plugs are not all that.

If you don't wanna splash out on the Nippon Denso Iridium they do a cheaper Platinum version and if they still don't do it for you, I'd recommend NGK and then Champion...

NKG for m20's - guys on a US forum (BEN) did a test a few years ago - no other plug performed better.
