Dual-purpose ignition coil removal tool

Ludwig Van Beemer · 05-15-2026, 10:16 PM

Doing the plugs on my M3 and I figured out that my door card/panel removal tool is the PERFECT fit to remove the ignition coils on an S65.

The lower 'fork' slips right into the groove and the long handle gives you just enough leverage to gently pull the coil right out.

Just thought I'd share it with the group.

while that is an elegant solution, the top piece you are exerting force on will usually break off on most cars. i try to lift where the coil meets the valve cover.
