What SPECIFIC "bosch" plugs did you use? OE or one of their 'performance' versions?
Also, WHERE did you buy these? Tons of 3rd world counterfeits being sold online. Coils are notorious ....
Again, dont think this was the issue proir to replacement (  ) but just a heads up |
Thanks, bought them from a trusted provider and they appeared to be fine -- it does not mean I will remove them from list of potential culprits-- or that they are exempt to be a bogus batch. I normally buy OEM or BMW original parts; not a fan of saving on parts specially if there is the risk of wasting $$ AND doing it twice....
The misfiring issues started a couple of weeks back but were quite sporadic but when I got the reduced power message decided to replace them immediately.
The point is that the new Coils/Sparks do not appear to have resolved the Reduced Power error - so I'm wondering if I jumped to replace the Coils/Sparks and there is another issue that I overlooked....
(Note they were at least +7 years old, maybe even the original ones....so that will make them 14yrs old....so due anyway)...
