Coils and Plugs

BMW-SRT · 03-12-2018, 12:23 PM

I am on ecstunning and i noticed the bosch branded coils and plugs for our X5M's are a lot less than the "genuine BMW" listed coils and plugs.

Its my first time changing out all coils and plugs is there any difference in quality or are the bosch just as good?

Ive heard good things about the ECS coils and plugs.... + you get to avoid the M tax!

I bought $20 coils from amazon... no issues at all. Plugs I shopped for 2 steps colder and saved 50%.

No regrets on either.

Bosch/BMW coils and plugs are the same...slap BMW on it or ///M and they cost more. Like Schwaben slapping their name on code readers and selling them for twice the price...might not be for all applications but for this vehicle, Bosch is the OE manufacturer
