I wanted chrome meths but they didnt have any

[orangecurry]

why don't you get some mercury, and half fill all the gauges in the instrument panel?

It'll look like chrome, and when you are driving it'll wiggle about everywhere...

BPR6ES

86 325i plugs, later are not as good ( resisitor styleeeeeeee )

no need for twin electrode or anything else, just the basic plug is all you require dude

what is bad about the resistor plugs?

[kam-325i]

Resistor one's........are they the Z??? ones ......

[d6dph]

BPR6ES are early type, ZGR5A are the late type.

My late engine run's better on early plugs.

[kam-325i]

*runs of to rip out the Z plugs.....

what is the consensus of Bosch Vs NGK?

[Ant]

no contest, NGK all the way

Why are the NGK better than the BOSCH dude?

I've run all types in my car and feel very little difference - and now got the fancy triple elecrtorde jobbies in there at the moment and they seem great (but maybe that's a money over mind factor).
