To me the word tune up is a very general term, in theory it means basic repairs

Even on German cars, Japanese plugs are usually better. BMW and VW now use NGK as OE. Stick with OE Denso or NGK.

^ x2. The spark plugs that are recommended are specifically made for the vehicle. It doesn't matter how many tips they have because the spark will ALWAYS take the path of least resistance. The regular OEM platinum plugs will work just fine.
