Carried out a service on the roadster today and as well as the oil I decided to change the plugs as I’ve not done them in my ownership. Below is a pic of those that came out - the wetness is penetrating oil, I spray a bit in just in case they have been over tightened. As you can see the burn is even and they don’t look too tired. I’ve noticed two things; she pulls much better and, this may help some, the revs dipping and coming back up when you dip the clutch has gone. This is something a few of us M owners suffer.
Hope this helps.
