Best spark plugs for your Turbo E30 with M20 or M30

Best spark plugs for your Turbo E30 with M20 or M30

At 7 Speed Shop, we bring over a decade of experience working with turbocharged M20 and M30 engines. We're here to share our top recommendation for spark plugs based on years of successful tuning and testing.

For turbo M20 and M30 engines producing under 500 horsepower, whether you're using the OEM ignition coil or a wasted spark setup, our go-to spark plug is the NGK BPR7EIX (part number NGK 4055), gapped to 0.025 inches. This plug offers a removable terminal tip, making it compatible with both factory ignition wires and wasted spark configurations.

While the NGK BPR7ES was a long-time favorite on forums, we've found that the BPR7EIX provides more than double the lifespan in high-boost turbo M20 setups, making it a more reliable choice for performance builds.
