Here's the link to the NGK spark plug website:

NGK Iridium IX® Spark Plugs

Oddly they don't list the XK8/XKR but show BKR6EIX-11 for the S/C 2001 XKR and BKR5EIX-11 for the N/A S-Type 4.0 litre.

BKR5EIX-11 are the correct ones for european cars, specially for short distance drive,
BKR6EIX-11 are only for the first xk8, till 9/97.

In Germany NGK praise them officially as an upgrade.
