E320 Spark Plugs
I've just bought an E320 yr 2000 with 45,000 miles on it. I heard the sparkplugsa should last 100,000 milkes? is this true? If not, how often should I change them. Thank you

Iridium Sparks
You guys might want to consider Iridium sparks next. I understand they are about two times more expensive but are more effective and lasts three times longer i.e. better value for money. When I replaced mine with Denso Iridiums, I experienced a considerably smoother engine (prob cuz they were new 
) butalso response was more "explosive" - prob an extra 3-5hps at least I'm guessing
