I just installed plugs in my 95 M50. Yes I used the correct Bosch plugs. The old plugs were in for about 31,000 miles. All six had light tan deposits with a slight greenish tint. I used mostly Chevron 93 gas . The electrodes were eroded on the both sides a bit. The original Bremi coils and plug connectors looked fine.
As I had the valve cover gasket replaced 31,000 miles ago I was surprised to find a very small amount of oil in the plug wells. Not sure, a small amount of oil means anything. Even so, I may change the gasket next plug change.
Anyway, just an observation as this is the first time I have changed the plugs myself on this car. It started and idled perfectly
TIA
