For the NGK, we had experience that one of the electrode broke and messed up the valve. That was on Audi and NGK plug.
But we will see how Bosch will live up.

Again. Plug models matter. It's not NGK vs Bosch period, it's the specific plug ranges. Cheapo plugs - and even specifically sometimes it's the very ones that are marketed at retail consumers to be fancy deluxe w some special feature like "platinum!" - are the ones to beware of. If the Plat plugs aren't expensive, that's a warning sign they are actually probably marketing bullcrap and actually some corners were cut.
That said NGK high line plugs are excellent in general, and were also my choice for modified high boost Audis. If you consistently dropped electrodes from them indeed it might have been some installation Error (or, again you were using some cheap low end NGK models).

The $1.37 NGKs are the shizz! BKR7E, part #4644 IIRC. But they aren't intended for "lifetime" use. Lol
Yeah, those "+4" models were known as "stay away" plugs in my Audi scene for sure... The factory ones were a different platinum plug... But hey maybe things have changed, and, a least w no boost the stress the face is way way lower.

Maybe someone have a cure for the sound that the car makes, for example I am leaving lights with kickdown, and it will start to spin tires, and when finally it gets traction it will squeak.
I had same on my E38, but it was so underpowered with 275 tires, so rarely got wheel spin.
I am thinking the sound is from aux belt, but it is nice and tight.

Polished headlights today
They were fogged up in the upper side.
Now they look like "new"
