NGK or Bosch Plugs for FBO +e85 N54
What are the advantages of running NGK over Bosch OEM plugs as i am looking for OEM reliability and my plugs are on the way out and will be replacing in the next couple weeks. My car is my daily and i run e40 tanks in the car very often.
Better Spark? Longer Life?

I would run OEM plugs... the NGKs are thought to be better due to being colder. With that, nearly everyone I knew that ran them even on E85 ended up switching back due to some issues. The stock plugs are fine.

I used the cheaper bosch over the oem bosch (same part # but without the BMW logo), I'm tune only though, not fbo. Some people have reported problems with them, but I haven't had that happen to me.

My plugs are coming up on 30k miles and they have yet to misfire but I'm sure its around the corner with cooler weather on the way hopefully. i will replace with OEM Bosch since i have had zero issues so far but i was curious why people did run NGK over them
