I won't go into detail again here but I had the plugs changed on my 02 325i (77k miles) recently. I know that they are suppossed to go 100K. What a difference! All the pick up I didn't even realize I had lost is back. My milage is back too ( about 400 miles per tank).
I drive the car a ton in all kinds of situations. I use only premium (91 oct or better) fuel.

Your gonna slap your forehead........I forgot to ask to see them.
It IS running stronger though.....
BTW-Ordered K&N air filter, K&N recharge kit, micro filter (mann),oil filter (mann) from an online store (bavauto.com). Total cost including fedex shipping = $106.00
Seemed like the prices were slightly better than what I was seeing elsewhere.
Just replaced my plugs at 70K for the first time. Wow, there really is a noticable pep to the engine now. My old plugs were OE, all crudded up and smelled like burned oil. I opted for the Bosch 4+ plantinum, a set of 6 cost me $36 from Pep Boys. Took about an hour to install 'em.
Make sure to check the boot and the coil head while you're swapping the plugs. One of my boots had some dust/dirt in it. Just blow it out and you'll be fine.
Always Always replace your plugs every 3 years. Forget the milage nonsense of 100K plugs
