NGK Iridium IX spark plug reference DR8EIX for BMW 3 Series E30

Discover the NGK Iridium IX spark plug, reference DR8EIX, specially designed for the BMW 3 Series E30. These spark plugs represent the pinnacle of current technology thanks to their iridium tip, a precious and extremely durable material laser-welded to the centre electrode. Capable of withstanding temperatures above 2450°C, iridium provides an exceptional service life, with a service life 2,5 times that of conventional spark plugs.

The advantages of using iridium are numerous:

• Optimised flame propagation thanks to a centre electrode reduced to a fine 0,6 mm tip.
• Reduced voltage required for ignition, making starting easier.
• Improved ignition in the combustion chamber, resulting in better engine response and fuel consumption reduced by up to 5%.
• Exterior treated to resist corrosion and seizing, ensuring increased durability.
• Reduced pollutant emissions and improved engine idle stability, with less vibration.
• "2 steps" technology to prevent insulator fouling through electric arc cleaning.

Compatibility: BMW 3 Series E30 2.3 16 M3, 2.5 16V M3, from 194 to 248 PS, produced between 07/86 and 1992, S14B23 engine.
