So I swapped the OEM bmw ones last year (made by Delphi) nothing wrong with them just did as a preventative measure with new spark plugs as well before I added a jb4 tune at the time. About 7k miles later I get a misfire. I have MHD tablet so I hooked up what the CEL was "cylinder 6 misfire". Disappointed the coil pack didn't last very long. The car could barely accelerate from a stop and the car shook unpleasantly. I took a couple pics and ordered a whole new set of coils and sparks. Same model DELPHI coils. The tabs up top seem lesser quality but the rubber boots where it seems to matter more have a bit more quality than the first set I had in 2017.
The pic of the three coils are in this order: left is OEM bmw original coil. Middle misfire coil (rubber boot seems warped and aluminum part discolored, right third is new Delphi. |

Coil packs should last the life of the car. I think I did read a while back that BMW had a quality issue with one of their suppliers/manufacturers on this product- but as I recall that was years ago and was resolved.

Interesting. We used Febi on our N52 X3 as coil pack replacements. Been happy with those.
OP - 7,000 miles is not premature, that just sounds like defective, no? |
