I bought my 03 e39 last April at about 150,000 miles and now it has 161700 miles. Since I don't know when the previous owner replaced the spark plug, I'm going to replace all of them with NGK BKR6EQUP this winter. I heard some people say I should replace the ignition coils and spark plug boots...

Hey everyone. I have read your threads for awhile now, and I am very impressed with the brotherhood and assistance. I owned a 98 528i for 5 years and sold it at 316k on it. That was a great car. I decided to go with 03 525i after the sale of the 1st. This car has been great also...
