E90 335i spark plugs

chaslee · 09-01-2011, 08:47 AM

I did a search and could not find info on the type of spark plugs that we should use. There are two made by Bosch, one for BMW and another with the same part number. The difference is about $30. Can one use the Bosch ones (ZGR6STE2) which they claim are a replacement or stick with the BMW version? Thanks in advance.

Grab the ZGR6STE2s from autohausaz.com, about $10 a pop and free shipping.

I wish I had seen that. I will keep that in mind for next time. I am still confused though. I thought I had read from Mike Miller to not use the Bosch cross reference spark plugs and only the BMW OEM ones. He said there was a difference. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

They are literally the same plugs, you just pay more when BMW distributes them.
