2015 spark plug cross for NGK lmar8D-j

Post by wsmcycle »

I have had a plug fail after only 2k miles.  I swapped the plug with a plug from my gs and the bucking disappeared.  I found on line a "supposed " cross plug to my NGK lmar8D-j >>NGK cr9eix.  The Lmar8d-j is 8mm longer from thread seat to tip.  Does someone have another cross for the 2015?

Dont get you.  If you have a 2015 bike and a plug fails why not get your dealer to replace it. Or is the plug just 2015.

We are having some unusually good riding weather and the dealer is 80 miles away.  I would rather ride than wait. so I am still seeking cross referencing on the LC plugs.  thanks

The BMW Spark Plug Part No. is 12128532942 & the supplier is NGK LMAR8D-J,

This Spark Plug cross-reference website doesn't offer any alternatives other than NGK or BMW (made by NGK & probably exactly the same),

Don't think there will be any other options.

Could the Dealer pop you one in the post or is there a more local NGK stockist.

I contacted my dealer, Northwest Arkansas BMW and Jerry, the service manager sent me two plugs.  I may have them today.  I found no substitutes either.
Thanks

Just goes to show dealers are nice people after all. Unless he's sent you bill.
