Spark Plug, BMW - E82, E9X, F22, F3X, F10, F13, E84, F25, F26, E70, F15, E71, F16

• Platinum electrodes for long life
• Larger resistor for better heat dissipation
• mild heat range for a wide variety of conditions and fuels
• Original plug for N55 engines

This is the Original BMW spark plug standard on the N55 single-turbo engine from 2011-2016. This is the "High Power" spark plug with a copper core and platinum coating for wear resistance. This spark plug is made by Bosch (part #ZR5TPP33S) but is a BMW exclusive and not available from Bosch directly. The "S" version is preferred because of its tighter electrode gap and larger internal resistor that dissipates heat faster but it is only available through BMW.

Just like ignition coils, spark plugs are key to the performance and efficiency of your BMW engine. A bad plug(s) will harm performance and fuel mileage and affect drivability and engine smoothness. Unburnt fuel in the exhaust will shorten the lifespan of oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. Spark plugs wear out over a long time, making losses in performance less obvious. Since its introduction, BMW has recommended a 60,000 mile replacement interval for N55 spark plugs. There is no harm in doing it sooner, especially if other work is being performed in that area.
