What are the BEST SPARK PLUGS FOR CLK430 2002

There is nothing technically wrong with them, however our cars are engineered differently (dual plug) so there is no need to spend the extra money. Also although the dealers tell you to buy the Bosch ones, a lot of the 55 cars have come from Germany with NGK's.

I tried to find the OEM (Bosch) that came with the car when it was new and they are no longer manufactured - according to the Bosch website. Dealer suggested Bosch Iridiums. They were only something like $16 for all 16 at the local Autozone. I can honestly say that the car runs great. I guess there is no 'best' plug to use.

I just bought and had mine replaced with OEM single platinum Bosch. These are still manufactured and can be found on many autoparts websites. I believe Bosch/MB have switched to resistor plugs for the Bosch application (plugs from the factory were the non-resistor type)....

Google the term "Degree a spark plug". It's and old method of more completely burning fuel in a combustion chamber. It's impossible to degree a multi-electrode plug. Even worse, each side electrode is a flame impediment. The average Joe will never notice the difference, but they are less efficient.

$16 for 16 plugs? That doesn't sound right. Were they on clearance??? What model Bosch is it?

You should try to stay away from Bosch.
If you wanna buy Denso's or NGK's for cheap. go here... www.sparkplugs.com
Especially if you need 12 or 16, the price will be even cheaper.

Hey, when should we change our spark plugs anyways? Is it easy to DIY? How much are spark plugs? Maybe that will be the next project.
I dunno, maybe somehow my gas mileage is good because I'm not firing on all cylinders.
BTW...I've had a couple Gixxer 1000's in the past too. A couple nights in ICU and the wife says she'll leave me if I bring home another crotch rocket... Maybe she won't mind a cruiser. I do miss the gas mileage, and lane splitting through traffic.
