I need to change a set of plugs in our 2003 Mini Cooper S. Realoem and Penske Parts are calling for NGK BKR6EQUP. Penske (Mini dealer) has them for $21.96 each. Advance Auto (OEM) has them for $2.59 each.
Well, I decided to go with the plugs from Advance Auto this weekend. I just don't see spending an additional $19.00 EACH just to have the words MINI printed on a box that I'm only going to through away.
nice. i always thought it was funny how much it cost to print logos on products that are already mass produced.
Turned out I was wrong on the price. They where around $8.00 each, but still less than 1/2 the dealer even with a discount. Shhh! The car doesn't even know that the box didn't say MINI on them.
