If you reach your pretty little finger up top and press the "Search" button, all your queries will be answered. Somewhat surprising however, is that a search of "chicks with dicks" yields nothing.

Now this thread will come up in a search for chicks with dicks.

This has been discussed ad nauseam with pretty concise results. Use Bosch WR9LS if you can find them, or NGK ZGR5A if you can't. Don't buy anything platinum or anything with more than one electrode.

WR9LC work well too and are more available. They just don't last nearly as long.
NGK still sells non resistor plugs , Bosch does not. If your car requires non resister plugs then NGK is your only option unless you want to spend big bucks on Beru plugs or the likes.

There's no problem with using a resistor plug where a non-resistor is factory AFAIK. The resistor is for noise suppression, and most BMW motors spec them for this reason.

Coming from the MB world, people recommend against using resistor plugs for cars in the same area as the E28. From my understanding, the resistance is already built into the wires and other ignition components. Thus adding resistor plugs will add to the resistance and cause your ignition system to go be out of spec.
This may not be the case for BMW's. I don't know as I'm still learning the car.
As much as i want to be a factory man. my 87 528e loves the platinum +4. I know a lots of people here hate em. Ive got an open loop, so dont know if that comes into the equation, listen and learn your car, sometimes it takes some trial and error. Be one with your e28.

My car (82 528e at the time) liked them when they were first installed. I found that they fouled quickly (10-15k miles) and were impossible to clean properly. Too much money for plugs that only lasted 15k miles. The silbers wear like iron and are easy to clean the carbon/ash off of with a wire brush if required. I'll admit that I went to coppers on that car though. They were cheap, so when they ashed up I just replaced them.
