I see the NGK offering on Rock auto for $11 but the ship time is over a week, I'd like to get hem sooner than that so looking for alternatives?

NGK 3199 BKR6EQUP is what I bought. According to NGK these are what Audi uses. I have found that the data on NGK's website regarding what Audi uses to be inconsistent.

Now if you are referring to the 6418 BKR6EIX plugs then those are about $7 each from Amazon


According to NGK there are 5 different plugs for the A8/S8 (2006 MY)

They are
7969
6962
7092
3199
6418

I just called my local O'reillys and they quoted me $16.99 for the ones they carry for our cars. 5546 or 5547 forgot what part number he said.

The 5547 is for MY 2007 and later 4.2 FSI engines.

NGK wants $14 each

There are no other plugs available from NGK for the 2007 and later engines.

With the V10 engine (2007 MY) those plugs are the 5547. $14 each.

The direct injection engines seem to take the expensive plug.

I consider anything that comes in at less than $100 chump change for any A8. Doubly so for a S8.
