Why change to different ones?

I use ngk on my GTI instead of Bosch. My info is useless but I think ngk>Bosch.
I don't see why not. Go for it

As long as NGK makes an equivalent spark plug to the Bosch one, I see no reason why you couldn't use it. NGK makes good spark plugs just as Bosch does. You just need to make sure it fits your car application.

I have been using NGK on my racecar, it is working just fine... I've been using them since 1998

I have to do plugs on my car soon as well. May be when it is a little warmer outside.

With anything car related, until I see clear evidence of an improvement in performance, I stick with stock.

This is why you go on www.RealOEM.com, get the part number, and then order them from www.TheBMWPartsStore.com
