I have a 2001 X5 3.0 . The early coils have a different attachment method than the later ones as far as I can tell.
I'm anticipating a motor swap and one of the avaliable motors is from a 2004.
The coils are not present and the valve cover doesn't have the two fastening points per coil. Can I reuse my original valve cover with the correct mounting or is there something else different between early and late motors that will also need to be accounted for?
