NGK (3199) BKR6EQUP Laser Platinum Spark Plug, Pack of 1

I purchased the NGK 3199 spark plug as a replacement, and it worked perfectly. The plug fit exactly as expected and installed easily without any issues. After installation, the engine ran smoother and started more consistently. NGK plugs have always been reliable for me, and this one meets the same high standard. The build quality feels solid, and it performed well right out of the box. For the price, it’s a great option and comparable to OEM quality. Overall, this spark plug does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Reliable, easy to install, and good performance. I would definitely buy it again.

Great Plugs, solid delivery from vendor ! OE Plugs for BMW M54 for us. They last a darn long time.

This is the correct plug for most E46 Series BMWs. The price is a small fraction of the dealer cost. It is of the same high quality as every other original part on your BMW. The other clear choice for plugs is the Bosch. Both are of equivalent, superb quality. BMW rates either the Bosch or the NGK plug for 100,000 miles when used on an E46. People who do their own work often change them at 50,000 miles and experience faster starts. Getting access to the cylinder head requires the removal of four "Torqx" head bolts which secure the cabin ventilation cowl the the front of fire-wall above the aft portion of the engine. This is the only real barrier to entry, and it is a deliberate one to keep tinkerers away from the engine. (BMW keeps the unskilled away from their engines by making the engine cover removal non-obvious). There are many good videos on Youtube on how to do this. If you have not seen someone else do the job before, the task will be made easier by watching someone else demonstrate the task for you, on Youtube. Understanding the interlock on the connectors to the spark coils which sit above each plug for instance, is non-obvious to those who have not seen someone do the job before. In this economy many people are doing their own maintenance who would not have dreamed of it three or four years ago. Many of the user forums and the videos available on Youtube offer excellent, step by step advice, on common procedures. These are an excellent aide to learning how to do careful, methodical work on these basic maintenance tasks.

Perfect fit, easy do it yourself install. Very happy with them after a month or so.

EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT PLUG

Jan 2021 Update : I'm still running these plugs in my 2006 Mini Cooper S after 5 years and 50K + miles of driving. These were a great replacement for the original Bosch plugs. May 15, 2015 review: I bought these for my 2006 Mini Cooper S. These platinum plugs, paired with a new Beru Central Ignition Coil and new NGK spark plug wires, made my car run like new again! It was starting to develop a bit of a hesitation when I stepped on the gas pedal, and the "check engine" light had come on. When I read the error code it was for a "misfire - multiple cylinders." I also inspected the spark plug wires, and found that a hole had worn in a part of the wire that runs to cylinder 3. I wasn't sure my CE-light was on because of bad plugs, specifically--or if the wires were also a cause of the problem. However, given that new plugs, new wires, and a new coil only run about $100, replacing those was a good first step to take at home prior to taking the car into a mechanic for a diagnostic test, which probably would have run more than that. Between these plugs, new NGK wires and the Beru coil my car is running like new again! It has a lot more pep, and the check engine light has stayed off after about ~100 miles of driving.

Good plugs. installed on 2004 Audi A8L worked like a charm.

Perfect fit

Doet z'n werk zoals het hoort.

Perfect for a 2005 330i bmw, same as O.E.
