Are Hondas really that cheap... $200ish on just wires? That's like 4 times the price from Hondas :(

Why are Spark plug wires so expensive?

I would imagine it's due to the rather odd design, deep welled click in plug caps with unequal length wire to the coils. Still, $200 is too much, $150 would be the absolute limit to what I would pay, and 120/130 would be the normal cost.
Perhaps you should check the resistance in the wires before deciding to replace them (if that's what you're up to).

As I do support the above statment if you can find a napa or carquest they can order world pack parts. They can get you anything you like and they over night and dont charge shipping. Or atleast thats the deal I get here.sigpic"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself." -Ferdinand Porsche

For about 40-50.00 you can buy plug and play wire set for m10. The only draw back is cosmetic, you wont be able to use the plastic spark plug cover that says "BMW". Other than that it is great.
Let me check if i have a picture of this setup....brb...Last edited by mr ilia; 06-27-2013, 05:21 AM.
