E3 Spark Plugs
Just wanted to know if anyone tried the E3 spark plugs, and if so what do you think about them?

Horrible plugs imo, the electrodes wear off and fall into the combustion chamber, i know this from personal experience

All Bosch plugs suck and suck even harder on forced inducted cars!

IMO, spend the extra $40 every 60,000 miles and get the NGK's.

I've always had problems with multi-electrode plugs. I just stick with the tried and true ngk v-power coppers, even if I have to replace them a little more often.
