Great product

I would buy from this seller again. The product is just as described and excellent quality, Above all the good operation.

Bought a set a of 8 for my 2016 x5m 200 miles in and they work just like the factory ones both made in Germany and show the same part number minus the M on the on the original plug

With all the confusion about whether to get the "S" or cheaper non-"S" version, I decided to take the risk and purchase this cheaper model. There is a lot of marketing on BMW parts, and I'm a frugal buyer. :-)Besides the laborious 4 hours it took to replace the 2 spark plug nearest the passenger side, this set works wonderfully.These appear to be the same dimensions as the original bmw bosch plugs. The box indicates .032" gap but I measured .028" on 5 of 6 plugs. The 6th plug measured at .030"; I ended up adjusting this down to .028".For comparison, my old OEM plugs all measured .034" at 85K miles.I've only put ~50 miles on the new plugs so far, but I've noticed that the 1st to 2nd gear hesitation is now gone. I've also seen a 1mi/gal increase in my normal highway commute, but it might have been a fluke...Acceleration remains unaffected as far as I can tell.

I bought 6 of these plugs for my 2013 BMW X3 35i. My vehicle was running just fine, but I decided that I wanted to do some preventative maintenance, so I installed them. After driving 20 miles, I realized my vehicle had a misfire, which I could feel while waiting at a red light. As I took off, I didn't really feel it again until I got to the next red light, and the misfiring got worse. From there, I headed home, and by the time I got there, my vehicle was in limp mode. My OBD scanner showed failure in cylinder #4, so I pulled the plug out, replaced with an old plug - misfire gone. I put the new plug back in, and the misfire returned. BAD PLUG. So, I stuck with the old plug in #4 and figured I was fine while waiting for a new plug to deliver. I drove about 50 miles from my home, and realized the misfire was back. Unfortunately, I was too far from home to get back, and my vehicle was in full limp mode, so I had to get a tow to the BMW dealer. After 2 days of not having a vehicle, the dealer told me #6 plug was no good and needed to be replaced. I told the mechanic the story, and he recommended replacing all of them with genuine BMW plugs - $1230 after tow, labor, and parts, which I ended up doing, just to avoid being stranded again anytime soon.Ultimately, I think these plugs are maybe fine, but I bought mine from marketplace seller European Parts Haus, and I question whether they were authentic. I spoke with Bosch and was informed that European Parts Haus is not an authorized Bosch dealer on Amazon, so who knows where they got the plugs from and if they're even new. Bosch advised that it's entirely possible that European Parts Haus bought plugs that had been previously returned to Bosch due to defect or dropped product, which causes failure. From there, if they're reselling on Amazon, they're unauthorized to do so, but Amazon doesn't control sellers and what their authorization is. My recommendation is to buy these only from Amazon, not from other sellers on Amazon.

The title says Bosch and "replacement" but the description states these are "original equipment" (OE) plugs. That lead me to believe these were the OE BMW plugs that are made by Bosch. They are not. They are OEM Bosch plugs, not OE BMW plugs. With that in mind, the $12 / each is just average pricing. I thought (was optimistically hoping) that I was getting the OE BMW plugs which are closer to $18 at most places. Despite that, these work fine for me and can't beat free 2 day shipping. I would have given 5 stars if the description was more accurate or they had another pic showing the other side of the plug so you could see for yourself.
