Look them up online. You can buy them cheaper.

Amazon has then for around $11 each.

you can also go to rockauto. I believe they were less than 20 as well

Just bought some off Amazon for 9.99 a piece + free shipping. Check the other offers, it's not a Prime offer.

thanks!

NGK LKR8AP is that the one you guys are talking about?
Also, is that OEM?

Used the NGK replacements this weekend on my 2006/325. $10/each at O'Reilly's.

Just remember these are not "Guaranteed" to work correctly with the ion knock system. Use at own risk

Could you please explain what "...step colder" means and how that effects performance? I'm not familiar with racing plugs.
Thanks...
