OEM for stock tune.

If your going to be growing into a stage 2 sooner or later then 1 step colder would be an option

SIDE NOTE: Some have used OEM plugs and havent had ANY issues with a stage 2 tune. ( I have no personal evidence of it )

BEWARE counterfeit NGK spark plugs. I encountered them with my S-65.

In the future I will purchase my plugs from Mercedes.

Go with MB OEM -- the cost difference over 50K miles is not even worth the time calculating.

I bought a set of MB OEM plugs for my G550 (M176.980 ) and they were marked with an NGK p/n. Some MB engines require sparkplug indexing, and you can be sure that a MB plug will self index. A Bosch plug might be spec'd as a replacement, but its self indexing is not known, at least not to me.
