Spark plugs.

[mr shifter]

What make of plugs do you use in yours?

[stribo]

Volvo, is yours pre ME7?

[LiamT4]

Genuine BMW spark plugs.

oh yeah, they're for a bmw..................not much help for you lol

[merc85]

everyone will tell you use Volvo ones, which are made by Bosch, i think 50/50 on here are Volvo or Ngk, ive run both in the past, and id personally say Ngk last that little bit longer. but thats only from a personal experiance. i sell both Bosch and NGK and havent had any issue with either.

[mr shifter]

Yea. 1995 855.
Standard, iridium or platinum?
