Shop using the BMW 11 digit part number: 12120037607
Click the link below to see which item #1 Bosch or NGK plug number you need to use (remember to select the appropriate Bosch or NGK model number that corresponds to your build date... i.e. you need the high power plugs for a build date for your 2001 build date):

Go to advance auto and ask for NGK V-Powers for an Acura Integra GSR.

Acura??? Naaa

It's the spark plug type.

why not just ask for something that fits the correct male and model?

Because they fit, they work very well, and they're cheap.

Hmmm...not sure how you can't see which of the 7 choices works for you. If you click the link given in post #2...it will take you directly to the part number database.
There are 7 choices (for item #1)....all of the last 4 will work for a 2001 model year since the build date column says FROM 09/1997...and the "TO" column has nothing listed so that means the part can be used from the date listed all the way to the end of e38 production. The first two choices do NOT work for you because they are only for e38 built UP TO 09/1997...then there is one selection that is only for e38s built between 07/1997 - 09/1998.
Again, click the link to realoem.com that was provided in post #2, then decide which of the last 4 part nbrs (for item #1) you want to go with (Bosch or NGK)...then shop using either the 11 digit BMW part number listed...or the Bosch or NGK model number listed. And if you still don't understand what you're looking at...2 of the 4 choices are part nbrs that are no longer available (ended)...so that only leaves you TWO choices.
Can't get any simpler.

I have used NGK BKR6EQUP in both of my E38s. They are not the cheapest, but they are the correct plug for your car and perform well.
