Hey guys～ can I use the n54 N55 ignition coils in my N53？

[BudVlad]

Yes you can. I’m using Eldor 12138657273 coils in my N53b30.

Didn't know that. Thought they'd be incompatible in the same way as injectors. Just bought a set of six from a BMW dealer and they are still Delphi. For non-turbo'd engines like ours I doubt Eldor would make a noticeable difference over Delphi. Incidentally RealOEM says the part number you quoted for the Eldors has been superseded by 12135A06753.

If you go on RealOEM I think the same coil part numbers are shown for N52, N54, N55 and S55. The only engine I didn't compare parts was N53 but I'd put money on them being the same part as well.

Delphi have the latest universal coils for all N series engine which is cheaper than the eldor.

Nope. I checked RealOEM and the coil listed is Delphi. There is another one also listed but when you click on it, it says part No. not found.

I think it’s the same coil I got from BMW. I forgot to mention that you have to modify the connector.

Just get a set of Bosh ones. There is no need for anything else.

Thanks bro. The modification is complicated or not? Can I do that in the garage?

It’s just a matter of cutting extra slot with a knife. It’s clear when you compare two coils plugs.. Instruction is somewhere on the web. I can’t find it now. I did this over a year ago.

When you compare the plugs you will see where to cut.

Hi, have you install the Eldor coil on N53 engine? Do you confirm that Eldor coil 12138657273 is compatible with N53?
Thanks in advance!
