Has anyone ever heard of or used this brand ignition coils? 1A Auto, see here

I spoke with them and they said they are built to the same specifications as Delphi, but made for the house. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Delphi is the OE brand for the coils for my 3.0 - I don't know what the hell 1A Auto is - RockAuto has the Delphi coils for $38 apiece -

Get yourself some NGK Iridium IX plugs as well when you do the coils -

Don't go cheap on the coils. OE ones are very good and this a component that you don't want to have fail and leave you stranded in never never land. Find a good quality one that RB has suggested and move on.

Well kool on the plugs! Those are the ones I have, but now I'm searching for the coils. I had a code for the coil p0365, replaced it and a light went off but the catalyctic converter still gets red hot. So I'm thinking I should just replace all of them. The originals were Bremi and I see one was Pulse made in china.

Yeah I've heard the Bremi coils are made in Cheena now -

You could do what I did and confirm with the dealer, they will be able to tell you by the latest part number who is the OE manufacturer for the coils currently as I'm sure they have gone through several revisions over the years - originally Bremi and Bosch made a lot of the coils, now I think Delphi or another brand makes them for BMW

Delphi is the best priced and I see good comments about them. Delphi it is. Thanks for your source Ricky Bobby!! They save the $$$$ and saved my day!

Delphi is the old Delco parts group of General Motors fame. World wide sourcing and manufacturing. GREAT quality control. They build parts for 65-80% of world manufacturers.

Sorry to derail the thread but has anyone tried Bavarian autos "high performance" coils and does it make a difference over OEM?

I'm a stickler for Genuine BMW electronic parts.

I needed a coil last year, called Classic BMW Plano, specified Bremi coil, was told they are in stock ($130), was a Pulse China coil.

I learned my lesson, New Old Stock or used Bremi online coils in the future (bought 4 used Bremi coils (totaled '03 E39 540) for $40 this year.
