The COP coversion has returned!!!

[AL GReeNeRy]

This offer is only available through m42club.com and may be offered on other forums AFTER m42club is taken care of...

D. Clay and I are currently collaborating to get this COP conversion group buy up and running. We have received permission from bmwman and are currently researching prices on the labor and materials. From the looks of it, we just might be able to keep the price in the same ball park as the previous kits, $45 shipped for the bracket and all mounting hardware (coils sold seperately). Now, although this is not an exact quote yet, I would like to gauge interest in this product. I will update this thread daily, so feel free to add yourself.

edit: robe30 is currently getting the plates machined.

We will start with 7 as the first group buy, but as interest varies, the number in a group buy may change. The second group buy will most likely have 10 in it. So first come first serve!!!

[m42 fan]

I'll try to keep checking as often as possible, but I'm out of town for Christmass, so I'll only be online sporadically untill January. Def. count me in though!

I haven't been on the board too much lately, but i have the coils and boots in a box and just need one of these brackets to complete the install.:)

[jajou318]

added myself to the list.

Alex, if you don't mind, i can update your post because i moderate the paper or plastic sections.

[AL GReeNeRy]

sorry for the delay all. i have been extremely busy with the past holidays, my business, school, and i am starting a new job tomorrow (or today since its 2am). D. Clay was unable to assist me in this project, so i have been in touch with robe30. the first batch are in the making, but i believe only 7 will be available. the price will most likely remain at $40, however, i may have to charge shipping since rob is shipping them to me and i then have to ship the kits out to you. would you all be ok with this? this is an extra step bmwman did not have to take. i will give you more info on the exact price when i am able to get quotes on the weight of the kit. as for the list, it is only fair that rob and i come first, and i will update the list as you post. so basically first to post, first to get a kit. thanks again and sorry for the delay.

p.s. dude8383, you can update the list as long as you go according to the order of posts. thanks.

[dude8383]

cool, keep us posted!

I expect to have 7 after I've got mine. Let's figure out the most effecient way to get these in people's hands. Isn't the hardware for these available at any hardware store?

[D. Clay]

Maybe not a hardware store. It would be hit or miss. I would check with a nut, bolt, and fastener specialty supplier. I've gotten to know the local one over the years.

[dude8383]

12. aaron31182 (Aaron)

added to second batch.

[rob_e30]

My partner in our race car already sourced the hardware. We need to verify a few things for fit (to make the install easier) but the plates themselves are in. We're also looking into getting the Ignition Solutions coil packs so let me know if you would be interested in a set of those as well.

Based on the quantities I'm buying these in, the plates came in a bit higher than Alex had forecast. The price for the initial batch will be $45 shipped (including the hardware).

[nickmpower]

how much are the ignotion solutions ciols? i was thinking of getting the bavauto ones but those will probably be better

[rob_e30]

Apparently not at all. Their phones appear to be disconnected.

[D. Clay]

Are those coils $125 each? A set of 8 for an M5 is $1000. That's pretty pricey for something considered questionable by some sources.

[rob_e30]

Here is the latest update. I have the plates in hand but am headed out of town for a few days on business. My M42 head is at the machine shop and I'll pick it up on Friday. I will finalize the parts over the weekend and plan to be able to ship these by the end of next week.
I've confirmed fit on my valve cover but want to verify the length of the two main support studs. I'm looking at a bushing between the plate and the valve cover to eliminate the guess work.

I'm also out of town the first few days of next week, hence the delay. If I can get the kits finalized and have payment I might be able to get them shipped before I leave on Monday morning.

PM me for my verified Paypal address.

[ScreamerBeemer]

Dude, I'm down like 4 flat tires. lol:cool: Matter of fact, I spotted coils on what I think was a M50 or S50 Head. Might be able to score those for short money.

[rob_e30]

The hardware kit is complete and I'm ready to ship kits. Here are pics of the finished kit. It uses socket head (allen) bolts as well as BMW washers/grommets. PM me for my Paypal address and I'll get these shipped as the payments are received.

Just to clarify... I didn't start this GB thread and didn't set the original price. I was going to price these at $50 but decided to get as close to Alex's price as I could (including shipping). The price is $45 shipped in the US. The hardware kit includes the bracket, socket head bolts (allen head) the washers, nylon lock nuts, nylon spacers, two custom cut threaded rods, and the BMW rubber grommets and washers.

[Alpine003]

This isn't one of those "need" items but what the heck. Check your pm. ;)

[jajou318]

You've got PM.

[rob_e30]

Not if you need to put something else where the coils normally are. ;) It's also cheaper than replacing coils and wires.

[rob_e30]

Only 3 kits remaining from the first run. I began shipping today and expect to have all those who have paid shipped by Wed. The next run will be powdercoated and more expensive. I may make them available with the coils already modified as well.

[rob_e30]

Except it's my understanding that they don't fit. The plug wires are longer. You can get a set of used E46 coils from Turner for $25 per coil so the charge for the entire upgrade is less than a new set of wires alone.

I´m down for that, you´ll have to check shipping over to Iceland for me tough

[rob_e30]

The first run is sold out. I can get another run together quickly. Is there interest in having them powercoated black? The price for the next run will go up slightly. I didn't establish the price point on this.

[Gunni]

I want coils and I don´t care how the stuff looks like,

45 bucks? Thats sweet. I'm down like 4 flat tires.

[denious]

Coming from someone who has no idea what he's talking about... Will this make my engine run any better & will it fit the '94 m42 engine? Also, how much would the shipping to Canada be?

[Intense]

I'm down for a kit

So, exactly what else would I need besides a set of four coils?

thanks

yeah, this is my first post here. But I've been on r3v and e30tech for awhile

That's it really. Some high temp electrical tape would help.

The kit comes with the mounting hardware so other then the coil packs and some high temp tape it comes with the rest.

Awesome, count me in for a set. Who do I pay?

thanks

[rob_e30]

I expect to have another round of these by the end of the month. Stand by for a pricing update and I need to know who wants coils and who does not. I don't get updates to this thread for some reason so PM or e-mail me.

[maxwellredrum]

hey rob any info id like to pick up cop setup, thanks mang!

[dude8383]

rob you've got PM.

I have no idea what your email is!

[CO318is]

Just wondering if you had any more of the brackets laying around, would like to get in on the next GB if that is possible

[nomad]

Have any of these still?

[chris325ix]

I'm up for another GB.. don't have a 318 yet but it's only a matter of time :p

[oldtimer]

I was introduce to this thread since I ask about performance wires for my new toy. I hope I am not bringing an old thread and still get some response from my reply. do you have a diagram how this would replace the existing set-up or add to it. I am interested specially if it yould improve performance and efficientcy of the egnine. Thanks...

[Intense]

bumping.....cause I just got my car over the weekend. Ready to start modding it, already!

[chris325ix]

I don't have a 318is yet.. but I'm interested in another COP group buy.

edit: just realized I'd already posted this. lol. need sleep..

[Donkeyshins]

I'd love to get a bracket for a winter project. I'm assuming no differences between an E30/M42 and E36/M42 COP setup. Let me know if you have any available and what the price would be.

-D

[jens]

Im also interest in group buy.

[M42Iberia]

i'm interested as well

[n2motorsports]

has this ended for for good? Im new here but i've read so much about this and want to get in on all the fun. updates?

[Jbrough]

I'll buy one as well. If I don't hear anything in a few days I'll call a local machinist to see what they can do but it would be easier if this was started again!

[rob_e30]

Here is the latest... I have a single plate in-hand, but do not have the hardware for it or any coils. I've tried to find a deal on coils but have not been successful. The machine shop I used to fab up the last bunch of plates told me they went ahead and made up another 10, but they've not been open when I stopped by to pick them up (it's a small father & son operation).

I'm getting ready to head out of the country for a few weeks of vacation. I seriously doubt I'll be able to ship anything except for the single plate I already have before mid-July. I won't tell you I have anything to ship until I have them in-hand and ready to go.

Please PM or e-mail me as I don't get notified of posts to this thread and don't check this board very often unless I get a PM.

[agreen]

can you still get these ? it says they can be made to order ? how much to the uk mate

[rob_e30]

I have 10 sets of our kits available for shipment. PM for prices and availability.

PM for price shipped to the UK has been replied to.
