What plugs to use...?
Hey crew- I just rolled over 61K on my '96 328i manual, and I'm trying to get some upkeep done a little at a time to control the cash flow (which is always out). Which spark plugs should I swap out with. I know Platinums are a bad idea, and I already ruled them out, but is there a specific model of Bosch plugs to look for? My friends '97 M3 plugs are $9 each for non-platinums, but the most expensive ones I've found for my car are $1.50. Thanks guys!

I believe denso and ngk both make an iridium plug for e36's. Autozone has the denso's for about 12.99. Pelican probably has it cheaper.

Platinum is not necessarily bad. I used iridium Bosch +4 $8 Autozone or Oreilly. I prefer NGK in general. I don't know plug requirements for non-M3 E36. Have you checked to see what plug you have now?
