    Iridium are supposed to have small tips like that. What motor do you have that the plug boots fit over with the ball style ends on and only have 4 cyl?

            the magnecor wires i picked up for my m10 required maintaining the ball ends on my plugs.

            OP oily plugs could be bad seals or your rings are busted
            have you checked compression?

            the plugs don't look too bad though other than being oily. i'd suspect old seals.

              I run NGK iridium's in my e36 m42. Runs great, gets fantastic fuel mileage.
