cristimm · « **Reply #205 on:** April 28, 2010, 03:08:48 PM »

Today I received my bremi coils. Still looking for somebody to make me the plate.

Sorry for picking this thread up again.
So what wireharness do you all use with which coils?
Do most coils of e38 ;v8 r6; or else fit with the wireharness from a e36 323i?
Are the plugs all the same especially from the m62, m64, m50, m52, m54, s54,... to the coils?

i�m driving a e36 Compact with the m42 and beeing often at the N�rburgring ;-) So it must been working for this sesion... :-)

Kind regards

Here is my finished E36 M42 COP conversion:

Thank you all for your help.

A few remarks regarding the plate:
- for E36 car that little tail from the back needs to be cut in half (i did not used anyway so I could have just cut it all) because it is very close to the firewall
- I used M5 bolts for the coils (like the original coils were fixed) this allows a little clearence which can compensate for small imperfections in the cutting of the plate.

how do you connect the COP to the existing wiring harness?pics please.

It's plug and play for E30 M42's and early E36 M42's. If you have 4 coil connectors in your harness then you are good to go. If you have an E36 with the single round connector then you need to make up a new harness or splice into your existing.
