Coil packs

[chrisburns]

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.

Good man, could have popped down and given you a hand !!!

Yea once the micro filter housing is out its very straight forward. Glad you noticed a difference :thumbs:

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

Are these the BOSCH one Nathan ?

[chrisburns]

Can you post up the Bosch part numbers?

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.

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

Brendan, to answer your question YES :thumbs:

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

[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

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

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]

looks the correct one to me mate,same part no as a stock E46 M3.

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 ???

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

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.

Will be passing ECP later this afternoon, can anyone confirm if those I've listed above are the right or wrong one's for the CSL ?

Thanks !
