Title: My new ignition coils.
Post by: romkasponka on June 08, 2011, 05:21:28 PM

So today I test fitted my new ignition coils and there was only one cylinder head cover modification - enlarged holes to 28 mm to accept ignition coils .
Ignition coils are from newer BMW (new cost about 30$).
P.S. Ignition coil is fitted without gasket under cylinder head cover, so coils will be little bit less protruding from the head than it looks now.

Which newer BMW?  All of them?  Are wiring connectors the same?  That's a deal, if so.

As I know all newer BMW, check part catalog. Plugs are diferent...

Stock bores are 25mm as I remember.
