I had the first OE Bremi coil failure a few weeks ago, and that was due to oil soaking. Over 10 yrs of service and one failure is acceptable in my book.

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!

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!

I've decided to go with the BREMI Made in Germany instead of MotorKing coils. I realized it cost nearly twice as much but I would feel peace of mind go with Germany parts for my BMW X5.
