Some good info here: http://www.unofficialbmw.com/images/sparkplugchart.jpg I think the OE ones are a Bosch FR-7-LDC+ but I have been using the OE spec for the '96-99 M3's (FGR8KQC) in my '95 with very good results.

So handy. Would not want a E36 without them. Dave T.

Dave is correct. I'll just add that the '96-'99 M3 plug is now a FGR8KQE, superceding the KQC. Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 - FGR8KQE 1993 325is #44 JP - FR7LDC+
