Maybe if you want to save a few bucks... try FCP.com
Agreed on buying "BMW" branded plugs from a dealer only.

I recently ordered the Bosch "ZR5TPP33S" OEM plugs (not BMW branded) along with a CTA 12 point 14 mm spark plug swivel socket from FCP and will be installing asap since I just flashed a different tune. I will report back how they both perform.

Really appreciate all of your input and DIYs on here, Dack.
They sell both, but who knows if there is actually a difference.

OEM - Bosch plug
BMW ZR5TPP33S Spark Plug - Bosch 0242145518
"Bosch ZR5TPP33S spark plug, same plug specified by BMW"

OE - Actual BMW plug
