Has anyone changed their sparkplugs yet, I think the stock plugs are iridium type, but the new Bosch type have 4 electrodes.... I used the m3 specs
BTW- I used to work at autozone and we got nothing but complaints about the Bosch +2's and +4's... had complaints about them causing some serious detonating.
I wasn't trying to just switch. I just didn't feel comfortable going 40k+ miles on the same plugs even though the owners manual says 75k intervals. Maybe i'm just old school and not used to plugs lasting that long.Factory plugs are Denso iridiums, so no I haven't changed them yet (only have ~35,000 miles on our 5). What is the aim of switching to autolite iridiums, B16?

FWIW, I wouldn't run platinum plugs at all. Platinum doesn't conduct as well as copper or iridium. I'd just stick with iridiums and go.
