    What are these tiny parts?

    I ordered the BavAuto ignition wires and they came with a very small amount of some kind of grease and a tiny bag of tiny little round metal parts.

    What are these for? And where do they go?

    Thanks.

    No idea on the metal parts? pics?

    Grease goes on the plug ends to inhibit corrosion, its called dielectric grease.

          Some sort of spark plug connection adapter? I know the ngk plugsI used needed to have a tip unscrewed to be able to use them with the e30 wires.

            should look into genuine bmw performance wires, better and cheaper.

              Well, thanks for the weigh-in, guys. Whatever they were, I didn't need them.

              MAN! that bottom screw on the distributor cap is a PITA with the rad fan and hoses in!

                This is what they are. Do they look kind of like pellet gun pellets with a hole down the middle? They were not needed on my car.

                  I think that's what they are, they screw onto the threaded tip of the spark plug as an adapter for some plug wires. My NGK plugs came with them attached, and I had no idea why the wires wouldn't fit the new plugs until I compared the old and new.
