NGK BP5ES Spark Plug: Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Citroen, Mercedes-Benz

NGK BP5ES - The Classic's Conscience

Before iridium tips and platinum electrodes became the norm, engines lived and died by plugs like this. The NGK BP5ES is old-school done right — a non-resistor, projected-tip copper-core plug that delivers a raw, honest spark to the engines that built the golden era of motoring. Jaguar XJs, Range Rover Classics, Triumph Spitfires, Peugeot 504s, early BMW sixes - this is their plug.

14mm thread, 19mm reach, flat gasket seat, heat range 5. No frills, no electronics to upset, just clean ignition in the combustion chamber where it matters. If your classic is missing a beat at idle or struggling on cold mornings, nine times out of ten a fresh set of BP5ES will sort it.

Stock number 6511. A number worth memorising if you're keeping old metal alive.
