Well, I have an E39 (1998 BMW 528i), once you drive the E39, you don't want to go back to the Volvo!tjts1 wrote:Well thank goodness we don't drive E39scn90 wrote:According to the BMW E39 forum, similar discussion happens many times and the consensus is:
- Single-prong is better than Quad.
- Indexing spark plug is a myth.

I've got them in both the '98 S70 T5 and the '99 V70XC, they work fine.

Just a little update on NGK...
Just helped a friend replacing spark plugs on his 1998 S70 GLT with 180K miles.
- Old plugs are Bosch 7955 with 35K miles on them, the gap has gone from 0.028" ---> 0.035". Not too bad for 35K miles.
- Local store does not have Bosch 7955, so he bought NGK 6962 for $2.50/each, which I think is as good as Bosh 7955.
