NGK 97506 (SILZKBR8D8S) period, end of story.

Messing with the gap is debatable (I guess). Ive run factory gap on two different BM3 tuned N20s and have had zero issues. Not a bad idea to check the gap of plugs but based on the way they are packaged... very little chance of damage during transport. Make sure to buy from a reputable source as counterfeit NGK plugs are definitely out there in the marketplace.

Good timing fcp got them on sale for 15 a plug can't complain, I was always told to never check iridium plugs but you know how that goes everyone's got a opinion. Thank you guys

Ryan,
I have a 320I Xdrive with the n20. I ordered ngk laser iridium step 2 colder plugs. I have been told to gap at .020 by a nice guy at burgertuning.com. Also read that plugs come pre-gapped and not to mess with them as well. But there are opposing opinions out there. I am putting in a BMS JB4 tuner and new plugs. I bought feeler gauge to check gap. Best of luck.
