I need to switch out all 4 plugs on my R. I'm wondering if I can purchase them from an autoparts store. I'm sure they are much cheaper there then at a BMW Dealer. The model #'s are NGK BXR 7KC AND NGK DCPR 8EKC. Anyone ever bought these at an Autobarn or Pepboys? Perhaps at a Japenese bike dealer they will be cheaper as well. These days BMW of Manhattan is my only real choice and all they're stuff is expensive. I prefer not to purchase via on-line since shipping cost will likely offset any savings.

thanks,

Gene

Gene--

I have downloaded on my machine a spark plug cross reference that I got sometime back on this site. Shoot me an email and I will send it to you.

You can get these or the Iridium replacements like I did at any AdvanceAuto.
They spec order them and get them in 2 days.
The Iridiums were 7bux a plug....

I changed the 4 plugs in my 2004 R1150R for the first time at 31,000 miles and I just wrote down the numbers of the plugs from the book and took them to an O'Reillys Auto Store and they matched them up. They had two of them in stock and had to order the other two. It seems like 2 of them were around 9 dollars and the other two were less than 5 dollars. In my wife's older oilhead and our previous oilheads we just used Autolite 3923.
