Which Spark Plugs do you use?

pre shrunk · 03-24-2011, 04:29 PM

I changed mine @ 51K to see if it would help a problem. The dealer wanted almost twice what I paid on line. The ones I put in are iridium but the problem persists so I asked the dealer for the part #. They use the platinum plug by NGK, not the iridium. Neither plug has cured the "hiccup" @ approx. 2700rpm under load (uphill) in 5th & 6th gear. Any advice/ideas will be appreciated.

Maybe 2700 under load uphill in 5th or 6th gear is lugging it a bit? maybe you just need a lower gear for those conditions?

I think you have hit the width and breadth of plug offerings for the R56 too. I don't think anyone other than NGK makes plugs for our cars

You will find a company called Brisk make a spark plug for the N14 engine, the Brisk identification part no is: Brisk MR12YS, these are a silver cored spark plug, and can be purchased direct from Brisk USA or 1 of the Mini performance outlets, such as Alta.

Also you may find this link useful to read too!

Great timing. I'm due for some spark plugs and was trying to figure out what to get. Had been looking around for info on the Brisk plugs, but had not been able to find it until now.

I just had NGK plugs installed today

I thought about installing a set of Brisk Turbo Plugs

I had the OEM plugs and wires and changed to the NGK Iridiums. Ran them without any problems for about 25k when they failed as I was driving [SES light blaring, along with all other lights, engine sputtering, etc.] and I had to be flatbedded to the dealer for service, 80 miles away. They found that the plug in the #3 cylinder was done, and the others were about to go, and the wires were toast. They checked it all out and replaced all with OEM stock again. So far, my MCS runs good, but I won't be changing them out again anytime soon. I asked Way about the failed plugs and all, and he said I'm good to go with the OEM again.

Brisk do NOT offer a turbo spark plug, that will fit the N14 engine!

The only 1 Brisk offer with the correct dimensional size for the N14 engine is the Brisk Silver MR12YS.

Dimensions are: M12 X 1.25 with a 26.5mm reach.
