Whooooo...I've never heard anything like that about the +4's, but I have tried them in my 96 328is for 500mi before I replaced with stock plugs. They gave a power decrease, and rough idle, plus I didn't like the idea of how small the center electrode was compared to stock.

Greetings All,
First of all thanks Matt Justice & Mike for the info..I pulled the distributor cap to find something resembling
an over roasted marshmello.....where my Rotary cap once
existed....do you supose the 4-electrode Bosh Pluggs caused
this to occur? ......Also could this have possibly caused further damage? ....The distributer Cap seems fine other than dirty from the disintigrater Rotary Cap...the cap rotor wires and pluggs were replaced (R.Bosh)tm....apx 8 months ago....haven't had a chance to replace the Rotoray Cap as of yet .What a Mess!!....do I need to make a list? Any input would be appreciated .....Thanks again Guys
