But to the point, good or bad is not the issue, requesting a Bremi unit over the phone, while talking to a BMW dealer parts rep, and getting a different unit is unacceptable.

$130 for the BMW/China coilpack and $20 for the boot is absurd, for the cost of 4 units (coils/boots), I could get a full 8 pc set of High Output coils/boots from Bavauto.

Found the Bremi Germany coil on AutoPartsWay for $38.88, $91 dollars less for the part I REQUESTED on the phone!
