All of the European cars I have had [VW, BMW and Benz] have had them.
When I switched to regular Bosch Platinums on the BMW it ran liike crap,
so bad I thought I broke one of the wires. New wires and coilpacks
didn't help so I posted up on BMWfourms, and the first response was to
switch back to the multi-prongs [before I even told them I had changed
away from them.]
The Dak is getting them here pretty soon, at my first non-dealer,
non-warranty sparkplug change...
