NGK plugs

[E46Twist]

Hey guys I bought some NGK ZGR5AGPs and the caps won't screw off? I actually broke the pole in one seeing if it was just really stuck. Anyone have this problem with them before?

Not all caps are removable.

I though the NGKs were.. I bought them listed for this car as well.

It should be fairly obvious, the NGK plugs with removable nipples have a threaded hole all the way through the nipple so viewed from the top you see a shallow threaded hole. The fixed ones are solid on the top.

Lorin is correct. ZGR5A is the plug number that I use for the m20b25. I don't know what the "GP" on the end of the number means.

The part that means I wasted $50 lol. Leave it to Orilley's to not know what actually fits the m20. It's right on the website too so its not the workers fault.

Those are platinum plugs and incorrect for the M20.

As stated you want the ZGR5A which are usually about $2.70 each.

also BPR5ES work as do BPR6ES, the latter for higher comp engines

Take some small pliers or a gorilla and twist those caps off and unscrew them. They're on stupidly tight but they do come off with some help. Just did it yesterday

as long as they are the removable type, dont try and remove the non removable ones you will end up with more than just the cap

platinum plugs suck and Orilley's blows. sorry you lost $50 - M20 plugs should cost about $15 at the most. :(

return them

They were nice about it and switched me out for the right plugs. I am surprised more people havnt had this priblem and Orilley's hasn't changed that. Does the m42 take the newer plugs?

Ah, it's all coming back to me now. The last time i went to o really for e30 plugs they sold me platinum or some other pencil dicked bullshits with fixed caps. Took them back for the correct plugs and told them to fix their parts listing since you actually could not use them on the car with OEM plug wires.

Apparently they did not listen to me.
