I recently replaced all 12 spark plugs in our 98 E320. From what I've read on here the oem spec was just a regular Bosch single platinum. There was a deal on Rock Auto website for Champion regular platinum. I think they were only about $2.25ea. And after the rebate (which I did receive) they ended up about .12cents ea. Car starts & runs great.
