Spark Plugs

Hello,

I'm new to the coopers.... I just purchased a 2009 cooper convertible Non turbo with 67,000 miles on it.

I have a simple question can anyone recommend two brands of spark plugs that would be suitable for the car.

I was looking on amazon and I came across these NGK's PLZKBR7B8DG Laser Platinum Plug. I just want to make sure it's good for the cooper.

Thanks
Andy

No reviews on those but if you want a slightly cheaper alternative these bosch plugs are rated well and seem to fit the N12 engine in your Cooper

Amazon Amazon

In 9/2009 MINI had a spilt year on the part for the Cooper (NON S) engines. Pre 9/2009 had one type and then 9/2009+ had another. Bosch for -9/2009 and NGK 9/2009+

You will also that special socket: 14mm Deep Well Spark Plug Socket - 3/8" Drive which is listed in the link.
