I've never had any problem with standard plugs in either the x1 or the 1125.
Most people that spend a lot more than they had to will notice a difference because human nature says we don't like to admit we could have had the same performance for less lOl

My experience is with cars but this applies to all IC engines;
Iridium plugs don't give a better spark, like platinum plugs they just last longer, so they have been adopted by manufacturers to cut quoted ('book') maintenance times, especially where access is a problem. This often means that the first factory-fitted set (fitted dry, without grease) are seized-in when the due replacement time comes! So much for time saving then!
All plugs should IMO be removed, cleaned, checked, and refitted with copper-grease annually.
So it makes more sense to stick to the recommended standard plugs and change them annually....may work out cheaper, and your plugs are always fresh!
