I personally went with the NGK plugs from LET. Made a difference. There is a different gap on them, Jerry from LET helped me with mine.

Just remember you need 12 plugs for the C32 (6 per side)

As loungn14 said its 12 plugs total...and it can be a DIY but could be a PITA as for plugs I use the Denso Iridium and I felt it smoother but next time planning on using the kind LET sells.

I say if you are going to re-gap them then why not replace. Thanks to our cars being AMG its an order and pickup in a few days or delivery about same time. I ordered my Denso Iridium IK20 from an autostore locally and picked them up in a few days. You can Ebay it also. Just lookup via search spark plugs and it should show a few candidates. Then google them and many times it will show places where they R on sale and cheaply to. If you DIY the biggest issue will be plugs in last cylinder by firewall but driver side will be a PITA if you have big hands. GL

It is not that bad. Or, maybe it’s because the cuts and scrapes have long since healed.

A DIY.

I haven't done any plug replacements or anything and the car runs like a beast. I wonder if I should start thinking about changing the plugs out or just leave as-is if not having any issues.

I don't see why not...as long as your car has low miles and your plugs still look good I say go for it...but if you notice by the first plug signs of detonations then I recommend change.

How many miles are on the plugs you have in now? I bought a pair of long pliers with a loop on the end that helps with the plugs by the firewall. If you are taking the plugs out anyway why not get new?
