I have 118k miles on factory plugs its a 3-4 day wait on the ngk plugs that dealer recommends or I can get denso iridium today 8.99 a plug...

Most people use NGKs, I believe. After waiting that long, that's another few days?
Agree but I'm in retail management and have one day a week off (50-60hr weeks) thus wanted it DONE today plus ngk run 10.99 which is another 40.00
I hate being cheap ESP with my cars... But dealer wants 34.99 PER PLUG NGK
You just sved me... You have used them before with out problems.. That's worth buying extra sets

$1 plug from Shenzhen.
I have an amazon account that seems more reliable they have thens of thousands of my dollars... Ngk FTW.. But denso was only local plug side from the other crap they sell you saying there is no difference... Autolite < ngk

Don’t get me started on MB’s problematic Bosch selections.

the oem plug is the ngk 3588 ILFR6A
I found the best way to get these for dirt cheap but idont know if it still works.
I found a 30 dollar off coupon code for advanced auto for orders over 70 and if the total after the coupon was over 75 you got free shipping so I got like 9 plugs on one order and then 8 plus a spark plug swivle on the other order and saved 60 bucks and got free shipping.
the code was big30 if you want to try that out.

Advances website is saying the NGK 3588 does not fit my 03 E55 AMG?
"No, this part does not fit your 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG."

Stuff like this is why so many people are afraid of these cars used. If you can't do a lot of the work yourself your in some serious financial trouble. If you can do the work you get an amazing car for not to much money. It's a mechanics dream car in my opinion.Originally Posted by skratch77

put in 2005 e55 and see what it says,there computer might not be updated right.
if you call the dealer the oem plug is the 3588 and is the most expensive ngk plug they make lol
I raped advanced auto a few months ago with buying stuff for the beast.
I did 4 seperate orders and saves 30 and free shipping on all.They got rid of the free shipping on orders over 70 now but they might still have it once you go to check out.
Quoted $1,700 for plugs wires and labor at dealer for plugs quoted... This one gets me bc it took less than 3 min to change... S/C belt plus labor 875.00?!?! For a damn belt!!!
What's up with this on amazon.. Anyone want used plugs

Yeah someone just put in the wrong listing for 03's. 04-06 shows that its correct. Not uncommon on these parts store computers.
I looked on amazon and the 3588 plugs are in stock at 2 stores. One place had 2 in stock, the other place had 3 in stock.

get the K&N filters and save 30 on those,get the little swivle spark plug tool because number 8 cylinder is a biatch to get to if you dont have that tool and order up a s/c belt and acc belt
I got the wires from amazon and was the last box that actually have bosch on it with the oem wires.The wires on advanced are not oem and are more expensive

Also try Brisk spark plugs, Weistec recommends them.
Amazon had them back stocked when you go to pay... Used advance auto code big 30 came out to 120
