B58 aftermarket Eldor coils are not the same as OEM Eldor coils

Some customers have purchased Eldor B58 coils with the expectation that they will be an exact match for the OEM BMW branded Eldor coils.

It turns out that the current version is not the same. The original part number was: 77460003 and the new version referenced here is: 77850002.

The new version is a different coil with a different resistor.

This appears to be a revision of the OEM version and it requires different spring/resistor modifications

I have not ordered the Bremi, Bosch, or other coils yet to compare against.
