Ok I know I'm probably retarded, but I've searched multiple sites along with this one on where I can buy ngk iridium plugs for my 92 325is. I haven't found anything which leads me to the question, are these plugs even compatible for my car? If someone could please link me on where to buy them, I'd greatly appreciate it since I can't seem to do it myself.

sparkplugs.com I think, I forget the part number can someone else help out with that one? I couldnt find them either and I got the website and park number from some folks on the fest.

They are compatible. Iridium IX's are universal plugs. Any Pepboys or Autozone should have them in stock.

Thanks a lot. Just one more question, why did these plugs not show up when I searched for my car? And even though my car's not listed for these, you're sure I won't have any problems with them? Sorry if I sound paranoid I just don't wanna throw down $48 for nothing. Thanks.

Save yourself $30 and just buy some NGK copper element plugs like the dealer sells. Unless you're running over .5 bar of boost there won't be a difference in performance.

Thanks man I'm actually gonna end up going for the cheaper NGK's I don't really think the iridiums are worth the extra money.

I SOOOOOO DISAGREE

MANY people have said that they have noticed a difference with Iridiums

Plus, you are talking about a couple of dollars difference

yep difference is a very slight change in engine/exhaust noise... and not much else.. oh and its a bit quieter then it was before

I got a smoother rev and better MPG

Was not cos my old plugs were shot either, as i changed them for OEM ones 2000 miles (2.5 months) before the Iridiums
