spark plugs for the M54 & M52 engine

There are spark plugs for the M54 & M52 engine.

NGK BKR6EQUP

BOSCH FGR7DQP

Realised these are difficult to find, both Repco & Supercheap Auto don't stock them. They've to order them in.

Repco quoted $39 for each NGK plug (BKR6EQUP) and they don't do Bosch

Supercheap quoted $25 for each Bosch plug (FGR7DQP)

Found a pack of Bosch F1-6 consisting 6 pieces Bosch FGR7DQI retailing for $139. These are apparently Bosch Platinum Iridium Fusion. I assume these are better than FGR7DQP?

More interestingly, buying 6 individual pieces of FGR7DQP (@$25X6) actually cost more than the FGR7DQI retailing at $139.

Has anyone used these Platinum Iridium fusion plugs in their E46? Any problem using these Platinum Iridium fusion plugs in 2002 E46?

I know it's even more ridiculous when you compare BMW Inspection I and Inpsection II.

Jeff Gray BMW charges $350 for Inspection I and double that for Inspection II because Inspection II includes changing spark plugs

Don't understand why the spark plugs for M54 are so expensive
