The only reason to go to a colder plug with a shorter gap is if you are running very high boost pressures from a Stage2 or higher tune. With so much extra fuel/air density inside the engine cylinder, the spark can have difficulty jumping the longer stock gap.
Here's a link to stock plugs that come gapped to stock gap right out of the box.

Thank you for the response. Do you think that I can still run the NGK SILZKBR8D8S (97506) gapped to BMW's recommendations?
