Well so far the list is still full in post 127. PINO meet? Unfortunately, I will be in Walnut Creek drinking in a buddy's pool at a little welcome-back party after work. It seems that there will probably be enough interest in these to do another round of 4 in the future. Don't hold your breath though.

I'll probably be interested next time. Been buying too many parts the last month and I am running short on cash...

PINO meet is the weekly Thursday night meets at the In 'N Out in Pleasonton. BTW, live in Walnut Creek, when you gonna be here?

I'm in for a COP bracket, just let me know when I'm "eligible" to pay and what not.

I plan on bailing out of the office a little early, maybe 230ish. So I should be in the dubCee from 330 till whenever.

Great quality work! Now I can't wait to get some coils for this install.

Is the buy still open or what?

Still a little confused.

I think I understand that if the BMW 1 748 017/Bremi 11860 coil pack is used then no milling of the rocker cover is required?

What about the spark plug connector/boot? What length is required?

Parts required:

4 coil packs - BMW 1 748 017/Bremi 11860
4 spark plug connectors - Part number/length
1 COP bracket

Is this list right??

Does the plate have a means to retain the "Rubber cup" over the lip from where the original plug wire covers? From I showned in the tech picture they were machined off. what prevents any fluid making it's way down into the splug hole?

The plug boot should come with the coils. Check realoem.com for the PN.

There is no overhanging boot on the new ones. So far I have had no issues with water leakage, and that is with my machined valve cover. You do not need to modify it like I did...that was from version 1 of the conversion. The boots fit snugly in the holes anyway, so I would not worry much.

Thanks bmwman91. I was just wondering because my and I's version did allow for the "boot" in this case "cup" to go over the existing lip that the original plug wire covered, then again I am using a much larger coil than what your bracket is meant to use. If it wasn't for my son's idea to go this route I would have gone another route. He is 16 and getting into modifying cars with so I elected to leave his version on my car. It is similar with the bracket that goes over the coil and push them down again the spark plug cavity. How we managed to have the "cup" over the existing lip, we cut out the boot from the old spark plug wires and fitted them to the coil extension in turn they fit over the lip and act a bushing for the coil as they are being pushed againts the lip.

do you know if there is a voltages outfut difference between the coil from a 6cylinder and the one's from a v-8 in this case a 740. The reason I am wondering is ever since we converted my car to the COP the car idles much smoother than before.

I do not know, actually. The number of coilings in the secondary windings might differ. I DO know that the original plug wires, and the new plug boots have resistors in them to limit current.

The idle improvement might just be because the ignition wires were shot. Mine ran better as well.

are these the right coils? the link on the first page is broken. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=7286
e46 6cyl coils. when are you going to do another batch of the brackets?

That doesn't look like the right coil. I didn't cross ref the part number listed for that one but here is a close-up shot of the ones you should be using.
