Is it fine to use the Bosch FR6MPP332 spark plugs ? Is it 100k change interval like the OEM NGK ?

pretty sure these are OEM plugs, should be fine unless you've added power mods - then go with the NGK

4 New NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug LFR7AIX # 2309 $29 for a fourpack

E63
Hello, I am having trouble finding the little hose that connects to the engine coolant expansion tank. Its the hose that is right on top and it goes towards the front of the bay and in towards the front where the thermostat is I believe. It is a small hose and at the end has a plastic right angle piece.


2008 E63


Need help. :/

Hey Todd I found a few posts throughout this thread no longer contain valid links. I don't see you here much these days but if you stop by and have the time or inclination you may want to just remove the links or blank out the posts or replace with pictures of bikini girls or whatever you think is appropriate...

yes, unfortunately - my open-ended edit capability in the first post has expired... if a moderator wishes to let me have edit capabilities I can crush through the bad links
