Which would be the best to go for?

The NGK's at £74.50

or the oem At £89.99 + postage

I'm not concerned about the price difference but if the cheaper ones are just as good then i'll go for those.

Are the oem ones also platinum tipped or iridium?

cheers

The Bosch are reputedly better plugs, they just had an issue a couple of years ago with a bad batch with brittle cores which is why Audi then went NGK but I have Bosch in mine IIRC.

NGK use fine wire for there plugs and Bosch just came out with a fine wire spark plug which is why Audi and BMW etc use NGK plugs.

Boschs new fine wire plug:

So if your car has NGK use NGK unless your country has the new Bosch plugs available.
