N52 3.0si Coupe Spark Plugs - where???

[Roundozo]

Ok, so I know where they are on the car but I hoped that would grab some attention.

I'm about to give her a large service this weekend (weather permitting as no garage yet) and I have most of the bits i need yet I'm struggling to find a decent place to buy the spark plugs from. I could go on ebay but too many of the sellers look, well, not trustworthy. I also am not sure what to go for NGK or bosch etc.

My plea for help is in the hope that someone can firstly point me in the direction of a good spark plug supplier and secondly what plugs would you recommend?

Thanks in anticipation.

Does the N52 3.0si Coupe require different plugs to the roady?

On the N52 engines used in the 3.0SI, The ones you want to go for are the NGK - ILZFR6D11 (1208) - These are also factory pre-gapped so no messing about!
A job I'll hopefully be doing on mine this weekend!

Bosch's equivilent will probably do fine, but I'd advise staying away from Denso spark plugs as I've seen a fair amount of issues with the ceramic cracking on them, one or two of my customers having chipped their valves after this having happened. Not cheap to fix.
