Thought they were better. Never had problems with them in my other cars.
In Europe, the Bosch coils have been superseded by Delphi. The Bosch coils are withdrawn and a new part number (for Delphi) has been issued,

This car is so annoying. I just got a cylinder 5 misfire. The funny thing is i replaced the coil and plug on that cylinder not even 5K miles ago. How can this be??

Did you gap the plug to factory spec?

I cant remember what that was.

I cant remember what the gap was when i got them, but im pretty i had to regap them. Isn't factory like .044? I think thats what i did. I am going to swap the coil to a different cylinder and will inspect the plugs.

I wonder if my eccentric shaft sensor is causing this issue. I probably should just get that fixed.

I gapped them to what the box said to do. I cant remember what that was. These plugs are made specifically for the BMW.

.044 is correct.

Hello everyone, I have a curious question. I have ordered and installed new Delphi coils with metal sleeve on my N52 with metal VC. Do you think there is a risk of corrosion or grounding between the VC and coil's metal sleeve?
