BOSCH vs BMW Ignition Coils

BimmerRob08 · 06-24-2022, 12:33 AM

At 95,000+ miles on my 08 M3, I'm doing my spark plugs since last ones were changed out at the 60K miles maintenance schedule. The coils are all the original ones and no issues on performance. For the astronomical price the BMW ones are, over $2,200, I'm wondering if downgrading to BOSCH is fine? Performance, longevity, etc. Not much of a choice looks like either. Either go OEM or BOSCH and hope for the best. lol!

Why would you waste your money replacing an item that is working fine?

No need to replace coils until they fail.

Yeah right, at that price especially. Was contemplating it but at the cost, not worth it.
