Coil packs

[chrisburns]

Fancy treating the CSL to a new set of coils & plugs. Got the plugs sorted so just need coilpacks now.

Anyone seen any good deals lately ???

[sailorbaz]

A mate of mine bought a few coils for his M3, will touch base with him today and see where he got his from.

Don't suppose you fancy treating it to a new starter motor do you? lol

[sailorbaz]

Mate got back back to me there, C3 BMW he got his from. They were the most reasonable about, hope this helps, worth a pop. What about bmminiparts also? Although, they are selling CSL Bootlids to the masses....

Coil packs - M3's more vulnerable than other BMW's?

[portlandgrey]

Last set i bought were from GSF, Bosch less than £20 each IIRC.
You need to call them as their website is crap.

Give 'trackm3' a PM, see if he can get them at a good price, he usually manages to come up with the goods!:thumbs:

[billyboysm3]

Id wait till Mister Auto or eurocar parts have 50% off offer and get the bosch one;s from there.

[chrisburns]

Cheers guys, would like to try and obtain a set for the weekend so will try and order up tomorrow at the latest.

Done... here's the link to the original thread: http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10411&highlight=started+pinking+again%27

I can vouch for the NGK IRIDIUM spark plugs "sjb" recommended :thumbs: Good seller & decent plugs :beer:

[sjb]

If you do go for the ebay seller 'make an offer' of £17ea which is accepted and then a set of 6 posted will cost £106.99.

I've had a word on ebay with the seller, regarding a discounted price for Register members he has offered to hold the old price, as the cost of his restock has reduced his profit margin, hence the increase in his latest listing.

This offer is open to register members if you want them please telephone: 0121 430 6333 to discuss you requirements outside of ebay.

Best of Luck :thumbs:

[chrisburns]

I assume the one's listed on the ECP website which is Bosch part number 413110180 is NOT the correct part for our cars ?
My local store has them listed and there is a 25% promo code.

Thanks !

Chris will there be a noticeable difference in the running of you car when you change coils and plugs ?

[chrisburns]

Cheers Bounce, didn't see this in time to get them today but might pop up in the morning. Was just worried as it is a different part number to that on the other thread ???

Brendan I dont know but on all the many E36 M3's I had over the years I did notice quite the improvement when I changed them. It might not make a button of difference but I figured it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to renew them anyway
.
Biggest improvement I ever noticed on an E36 was actually changing the cam position sensor & the throttle potentiometer. Car felt like a missile after doing so but clearly one of those was not working as it should have been at the time.

[chrisburns]

Right, before I start is there any guides here on changing plugs ? I know its not a big job but might be handy :thumbs:

[chrisburns]

Job done, tided up, hands cleaned & road tested :smokin:

Brendan, to answer your question YES :thumbs:

[mattCSLnut]

Well done Chris :thumbs: just over 2 hours isn't bad going considering the bits of trim you have to remove (and put back) to get to the coils & plugs :beer:
I hope you haven't been neglecting your mud flaps though :-D

[chrisburns]

Cheers Matt, yea opened the bonnet scratched my head a bit and realised that. Bit of a PITA but all went ok, didn't even break any clips on the carrier across the engine :thumbs:

Noticeable difference as well so pretty happy with that. Hate driveway mechanics though :bigcry:

Oh and yes mudflaps are all good, back to blacked them this evening lol

Nice one chris certainly considering doing this myself will be in touch when the time comes for where to get the parts.

[Mike R]

Can you post up the Bosch part numbers?

[_Nathan_]

I've got a set of 6 that have hardly been used, if I had to guess I'd say less than 12 hours use, £40 posted.

Gonna switch to VW Coils :D

Here you go Mike, if you hurry up there is still 40% off until midnight.

Had the car out for a bit of a run today, huge difference. Car picks up so much more cleanly and can hold onto gears longer before downshifting.

I used to change these all the time on my old E36's and it looks the the S54 is no different.

Are these the BOSCH one Nathan ?

[Brendanmck]

Job done chris got the parts today from euro car parts excellent value. Straight forward to fit them wonder how much the dealer would charge for this to be done ? Instant difference in engine much smoother.
