Coils: Delphi or Bosch? Other?

[oceansize]

I installed the Dinan's a few months ago after one failed, no problems.

These ones ok?

[Shonky]

I wouldn't have reservations against using them.

part number for 273 ELDOR is NLA
I found NOS here in Australia if anyone still wants to run ELDOR from a BMW box


Is the ELDOR part number still the same ? or have they changed ?

Found the Jelly Bean Coils on mine, Wish i payed more attention the last 5 times i had them out comp testing and doing the head gasket


Found a old 260 coil from 2007 with E46 on it (must of been from a junk yard )
Some Bosch 08s
A Bosch 2015
A Bosch 2019


Seeing this is some serious motivation to swap them out

Waking up - FCP sells that Eldor part number coil, but does not show it as fitting the S54: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...657273#fitment

It will fit. The same part was used across a lot of different platforms beginning 2003. LCI E46 330s changes to this coil.

Carbahn makes them now too if you prefer Steve over Holley

These are the best coils for E46 cars. Unfortunately the M3 can't use them. They were used on early cars.
