100k on original spark plugs?

Ive been debating changing out the plugs but only have 62,xxx miles on them and the beast is still running strong. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to replace them due to time and not mileage? By not changing them yet could I be at a slight loss of horsepower and just not noticing it?

I changed mine around the 100k mark. There wasnt any issues to do it, and accordingly, i didnt notice any performance gain. I kept them for backups however.

sparkplugs

Check manual to see if there is a recommended time interval change........my manual for my SL65 states to change plugs after 5 years regardless of mileage........don't know if E class also states this...

Its 5 years also for the e55 or every 3k miles if you have a tune.

Edit- every 30k miles tuned!!!
