My question to the guys at FCP:
"Just double confirming these Eldor 12138657273 will fit my E70 X5M? I don't see the X5M listed on your fitment list, but this conflicts with my online search. Thanks!"

The answer posted by FCP Product Team:
"Delphi, p/n 12138616153, is the currently recommended ignition coil by BMW for the E70 X5 M."
No question I would go with the Eldor vs. the Delphi. Just pulled this off my FCP Euro invoice for the part number I ordered: BMW Direct Ignition Coil - Eldor 12138657273
