[QUOTE="Mark 88/M5 Houston"]Has anyone tried any of the following plugs in a S38?
Beru 12-5DU?
NGK D7EA?
Bosch XR2CS?
If you have, I'd be interested in hearing you evaluation compared to the Bosch X5DC's.[/QUOTE]
Mark,
The Bosch XR2CS is the plug spec'd for the Euro M88/3 engine. It would probably work, but might foul easier than the X5DC.

I tried the "suggested" NGK plugs once for my S38. They didn't even fit.
Not all plugs are equal. The Bosch X5DC you get from an independant plug distributor will not have the correct screw-on terminal for the M5 factory plug wires. The dealer in-box X5DC for the S38B35 has the appropriate screw-on connector that makes plug wire insertion/removal an absolute breeze. Until i put in dealer-sourced plugs i had always wondered why getting the plug wires off and on was such a hassle.
Now I know.
