Product Information

OEM replacement direct ignition coil

Your BMW's direct ignition coil provides the power in order for your spark plug to "spark". If your BMW is suffering from a misfire issue it is likely due to a worn ignition coil or bad spark plug. One way to test for a bad ignition coil is to swap the ignition coils and see if the misfire follows the misfire.

We also recommend using dielectric grease when installing new ignition coils. It will protect the spark plug boot and create a water/dust tight seal. Great for added ignition performance.

Note: This newly designed Bosch coil does not have a "snap" when pressing into place. The new design uses a contact spring on the spark plug tip that grips the spark plug just as good or better than the original design. When installing a new coil make sure each spark plug connector has a dab of dielectric grease to make sure the coil slips all the way down on to the plug and are firmly in place.

Please Read: New Coil Design (PDF)


Direct Ignition Coil

Direct ignition coils are located directly over the top of the spark plug. In this ignition setup there is one ignition coil per spark plug and there are no spark plug wires. This ignition setup is often referred to as a coil on plug ignition system.

Coil on plug or direct ignition systems are pretty much used on all modern cars due to packaging, performance, emissions, and maintenance reasons. This ignition system is essentially maintenance free with the exception of spark plug replacements and the occasional coil replacement when compared to a traditional ignition system.

Direct Ignition Coil Failure Symptoms
  • Reduced fuel efficiency
  • Reduced power output
  • Misfires

Terrible internal policies
I've ordered a handful of items from FCP Euro over the past year...my most recent order never arrived. A completely different order (someone else's) arrived at my house. I was quick to reach out to FCP regarding the mix up and, three days later, have been advised I need to return the wrong order before they will refund my order, that never arrived. Basically, FCP made a mistake and, not only have they not apologized for their error but are now holding me responsible for resolving the matter. Never mind that I never got the parts I needed but now they are keeping my money until I fix their mistake. I have no issue with returning what they sent to me but this backwards methodology they are presenting is both wrong and, at least in my state, not legal. Buyers be warned.

Fit Perfectly and Quality
The car started to have an odd cough and running weird issue, but after replacing these engine is running smooth. Scanned with auto logic and other diagnostic tools, the engine is smooth. Recommended to replace these when doing spark plugs after some time according to the maintenance manual. Top quality product.

Question Posted by Stephen
Does this part fit my car? 2012 X3 XDrive28i - L6 - 3.0L 2996cc GAS MFI VIN 5UXWX5C51CL726932. Thank you for the help.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
As per the vin# provided, yes this p/n will fit your vehicle.
Question Posted by Russell
I've been using Bosch ignition parts for decades and I have always trusted Bosch for manufacturing the most reliable ignition parts. Recently I've read numerous reviews/forum threads concerning Bosch Direct Ignition Coils failure rate being fairly common in reference to BMW vehicles requiring this style coil. Is there a reason for these defects and has Bosch corrected these defects. I actually went with the Delphi option for our BMW X3 3.0si instead of purchasing the Bosch coils(this would be the first time I've ever chosen another brand over Bosch due to reliability concerns).
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Most issues are related to installation errors in which the coil is not correctly seated on the ignition coil. The other issue is the use of too much dielectric grease which also prevents the coil from sitting on the plug correctly.
Question Posted by a customer
Does this part fit 04 545i bmw? Says it does but when looked up part number it does not
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, this does fit an E60 545i. All three pencil-style coils used by BMW technically fit interchangeably.
Question Posted by a customer
I purchased these ignition coils for a 2005 BMW 330i but the coil does not line up correctly with the ignition coil connector. Here is the connector: https://gyazo.com/d2c5eea1a43bd10e54f531aa27119796 Here is the old coil: https://gyazo.com/32a3bb25f66b100d154f21dd98db340e New coil: https://gyazo.com/f650f309683155e9c977f884e4b412df As you can see they do not line up with the old connectors, is there something I need to do?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
We would really need the VIN of the vehicle to confirm/assist further but it looks like an N52 engine in the background of the picture links, which would make your vehicle an E90 chassis car which starts as model year 2006 vs model year 2005 which is an E46 with an M54 engine. Chances are your vehicle is built before 4/2006 and therefore would need to use 12137594936 (BOS-0221504465). The options are to either use the earlier style coil only used on early production E90's up to production date 4/2006 or swap our the connectors on the ignition coil harness which is what BMW recommends since they no longer offer the early version of the coil while Bosch still does. For us to be 100% sure of what vehicle you have and the production date we need you to email the VIN to service@fcpeuro.com so we can assist you further.
Question Posted by a customer
I have a 2011 BMW 335i E93 M-Sport. Looking into this coil. Some websites say it is compatible with my car and some say it is not. Can you please verify which it is before I spend money and then have to deal with returns.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, this is compatible. All the "pencil style coils" are interchangeable. However, for the N54/N55 powered BMW's we personally recommend the Delphi version of the ignition coil. We list both options as some customers prefer Bosch.
Question Posted by a customer
The picture shows a notch dead center under the plug. The one in my 2007 Bmw 530xi has an offset notch and is different than the one in my 2008 mini cooper. How do I get a coil with the right notch.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Offset connectors were used on vehicles built before 4/2006. Your two options are to order p/n 12137594936 (only available in Bosch OE since BMW discontinued it) or replace the ignition coil harness connectors with p/n 12527519996 and then use this coil.
Question Posted by Francisco
What spark plugs are recommended to use with these coils?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
There is no specific spark plug that is required to be used with ignition coils. Spark plugs are completely application based on your particular year/model. Please enter your vehicle information in our vehicle selector to see which spark plugs will correctly fit your vehicle.
Question Posted by Francisco
Can I use these coils if I add modifications to my vehicle? Bolt ons, for example?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes.
Question Posted by James
When I bought these from FCP a few months ago, they were listed as "not compatible with E46 M3" yet FCP sold them in a kit for the E46 M3. At the time an FCP reply said they were correct; just an error in compatibility listings. So which is it?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This will fit 2001-2006 M3's originally equipped with Bosch coils.
