Bosch & NGK are both respectable makes, check your owners handbook for the exact model number

What, BMWs or Bosch & NGK spark plugs?

I can assure you that not all Bosch plugs are made in China. I have a set sitting next to me, that specifically say "made in Germany".

Don't dodge the question. They're also not old ones, purchased about two weeks ago.

I give up with you.
Brand new, specially flown from the factory to you?

The fact you bought a set a couple of weeks ago from someones stock means Bosch are wrong in their press release?

(I think you'll find you made a statement, you appear to think you asked a question. Maybe you missed something off somewhere?)

I prefer NGK's, but it is a personal thing based on no evidence other than they have always worked and about 20 years ago I had a Bosch one break up on me... That was due to engine problems and overheating though, pretty sure anything would have gone the same way!

Just pop into an autofactors like unipart or Allparts with your reg number, they'll sort you out with the right plugs.

I got NGK's for my BMW, they were less than £2 each.

Who cares if they're made in China?! So long as they are made to the right standard, and subject to good QC, they will be fine. NGK and Bosch are both absolutely fine, wherever they're made.
