Product Details

The Bosch Nickel product line is aimed at drivers and technicians who want a straightforward replacement spark plug with the correct OE-style dimensions and electrode construction. ZGR6STE2 uses a nickel-yttrium center electrode and copper core to balance durability and conductivity, while the multiple ground electrode layout supports consistent spark delivery in the specified BMW fitments. This Bosch ZGR6STE2 spark plug is a direct service part for vehicles that require a preset-gap, flat-seat, 4-cycle plug with a 26.5 mm reach.

This part cross-references Bosch ZGR6STE2 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Rough idle caused by worn spark plug electrodes
  • Hard starting from weakened ignition output
  • Misfire codes related to aged secondary ignition components
  • Reduced throttle response from inconsistent spark delivery
  • Service intervals due to plug wear in BMW turbo applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Use this plug only in the listed BMW applications and follow the vehicle service specification for torque and replacement procedure. The gap is preset, so do not adjust it before installation. Verify the engine calls for a flat-seat, 12 mm thread, 14 mm hex, and 26.5 mm reach spark plug before service. For BMW 335i, BMW 535i, and BMW Z4 applications, confirm the exact model year and engine configuration against the fitment notes, including the 2014 BMW Z4 through 02/2014.
