$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!

Gotcha, I just replaced all eight of my coils last Sunday, I was getting a misfire code in cylinder #4. I replaced mine with the coils the guy in post #24 mentioned, got them on ebay for under $90, they mention how theirs are made with copper windings instead of aluminum. I agree with you on the longevity point, my X has 208K miles, I replaced one coil last year, so you're right, that aint bad. I went with the cheaper ones because I'm getting rid of mine early next year, will be buying an X5M or a 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT8. It runs like a scalded dog now, pick up and power is instantaneous!
