Non S Spark Plugs

I need to replace the spark plugs on my 2011 non s. Would brisk silver plugs work in a non s? And if not, what plugs would you recommend?

In my 2006S, I used standard autolite copper plugs. If you go that route, just check/set the gap and replace the plugs annually.

Will any plugs that work in an S also work in a Non-S? I thought they were different.

When I replaced the spark plugs on my 2009 non-s, I wanted to switch to a copper core plug but couldn't find any available.

I went with the factory BERU 12ZR-6SP03

You read a lot of posts about boosted MINIs switching to cooler spark plugs so I would think anything listed for a turbo charged MINI would not be the right spark plug for a naturally aspirated MINI.

I've never had good luck with brisk plugs. Go with the original spark plugs as they will work and last the longest. They are different based on your production date.

I was under the impression (based on reading up on spark plugs and a thread on here regarding spark plugs) that although Platinum or Iridium lasts longer, that silver operates better. Is that not the case?

Cooper and silver work great, don't last very long. Some guys go through a set of copper plugs every other race....
I like the factory Beru.

What kind of miles are you all getting on your plugs?
