    JCW Plugs ARE 1 range colder than S plugs.

    You do not need to go any colder than the JCW Plug.

    It's already been said but I only recommend the JCW NGK plugs, they are the most reliable.

    Do not get the Iridium plugs.

    I believe the JCW plugs are 1 heat range colder than the standard MCS plug. Could be wrong, but I seem to remember reading that somewhere.

    Why do you believe you need colder plugs?

    Lots of folks seem to have issues with all the latest & greatest plugs. NGK FTW, at least for my money.

    :cornut: I was just wondering..........what(generic market equivalent)kind of plugs does Mini put in my car(08 R56 MCS/JCWm)? Yes I know that they are Mini plugs which means that some one else made them and put the Mini/BMW brand on them but, who makes them and how do they equate to the NGK plugs that y'all are talking about?:Thumbsup:

    Jason

    Addendum: Well I answered my own question by going to y'all's site. You don't carry plugs for 08 R56 JCW engines. You only carry them for the MCS. Oh well.

    If one looks closely at the MINI plugs they are indeed marked NGK...
