Laser welded Platinum inlay ground electrode provides 3X longer service life compared to standard copper plugs. Fine wire Platinum firing pin for better ignitability and performance. Unique 360 continuous laser weld fuses corrosion resistant Platinum firing pin to base.

Works great

My BMW 320i has black smoke and a horrible smell when I start the engine and it only lasts 30-40 seconds, after that the car runs fine. I changed the spark plugs and now the car has no more problems. I know it can be any brand but I prefer Bosch for the quality.

Pros
  • Car
Cons
  • No insurance

1 of 4 ordered was defective

My trusted mechanic had to have one of the old NGK spark plugs installed as one of the new Bosch spark plugs was defective and misfiring. Not perfect, but it was the only way to get the car home since Bosch spark plugs are not always available in Tampa, Florida.

Pros
  • ignition parts
Cons
  • defective

2015 BMW 328i Not Working

I installed these spark plugs on my 2015 328i to avoid an upcoming service and it was causing horrible misfires. This put my car into emergency mode and when I tried changing the spark plugs/coils to diagnose the problem it was still there. In short, I put the ones I had at #1 and the dropouts are gone, it better goes untouched. I will never buy Bosch again.

Pros
  • Spark Plugs
Cons
  • Useless Functions
