NGK Spark Plug P/N:6490
NGK 4471 spark plug for the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L and other vehicles ignites the fuel mixture in the cylinder with a single platinum center electrode. It is engineered specifically for OE applications and intended to support stable idling and lower emissions.
Rough idle, hard starting or a misfire can mean a plug is worn, though a weak ignition coil or a clogged fuel injector can be behind the same symptoms, so trace the cause before you replace plugs.
It fits the 2008-2013 BMW M3 V8 4.0L, the 2006-2010 BMW M5 V10 5.0L and the 2006-2010 BMW M6 V10 5.0L.
