Spark Plug question

I have a simple question. Do I replace my plugs with Bosch, Beru, or NGKs? Many moons ago I ran NGKs in an MG Midget, an AH Sprite and a Morris Marina not to mention Toyotas, Mazdas and Nissans. Do any of you have any preference? I have an 08 Clubman with the N12 engine.

I prefer NGK I’ve been using them for 40 + years and not a problem. I'm running 22 lbs of boost on my car and they never fail.

I ran NGK for years too. From a 1970 Toyota Corolla to a 2002 Nissan with the above mentioned MGs, Austins and even a Ford Escort in between. Thanks for the second vote for NGK.

I stick with OEM plugs or the same ones from the company that makes the OEM plugs. KISS method.
