Does the m60 use a multi-electrode plug? If so I recall the Bentley saying "not-adjustable"

Autolites belong in a '64 Falcon, (and even then I would use NGk) not in your BMW.

Autolites suck, go get some NGK's and enjoy your healthy car.

Well im freaking poor and autolites are all i could afford so I got these. I went with 3 as the setting and they seem to be working pretty well. Nothing to whine about from me..

The 94 530 uses a duel electrode plug and is non adjustable. www.autohausAZ.com (http://www.autohausAZ.com) has these Bosch plugs for under $3.

NGK v-power plugs are cheap and work very good in any car, they're around $2 a piece, not much more pricey over autocrap plugs.

To answer your question, if you bought any of these part numbers;

3924 AP3924 APP3924 XP3924

The gap is .032. I suggest the original copper core 3924 plug works best. I've been running copper core Autolites in my BMWs for years and have never had a bad one.
