When these little turbo motors are under boost they love octane-- so always use premium top tier fuel. Cylinder pressures are really high, so you need really good plugs - the really pricey Saab ngk platinum - and a killer ignition to fire them. The wear part is the spark plug, and just crappy gas can leave deposits that cause misfires. So can never seize on a spark plug insulator. Start with the simple stuff -- fuel, plugs and mobil 1. I put new plugs in a B207 every 30k and rarely have issues. But if you ignition system is working its heart out to fire old plugs or the wrong plugs --it will have a heart attack.
