Fake Bosch coil pack sold at Goldwagen.

[SubLoaded]

I bought six Bosch coils from a Bosch outlet for a 325ci e46 after one had melted around 120k kms. So the new ones lasted that long. Earlier this year one of those new ones caused a misfire at 160k kms so we replaced it. Some cars can go through coils like underware i guess. Another E46 i have ran on original Bremi coils to 200 000kms (19 years )and i replaced them while they were still working. I'm not expecting the Bosch replacements to last that long.

So tbh I don't think those Goldwagon Bosch coils are fake. I suspect an ageing engine may produce anomalies that could need coil replacement more frequently...just my 5pence:dunnoanymore:

Used Bremi coils on the 325i. Had one issue only. One of the coils kak'd out after about 5000KMs... Was replaced for free though and had no issues afterwards...

This thread is similar to that HATEFUL BMW page on FaceBook.

Not really hate. I just lost 2 coils today. I bought these in September last year. Only thing I could think of is their quality.

OP which bmw model you have? Something causing the coils to prematurely fail? How are the plugs looking?

2010 320i E90.

Cool. The 320i uses a different pencil coil with the aluminium shaft on the outside of the coil which is more robust.
The pencil coil in your pic is still fine but not as sturdy as the OEM coil required for your car.

Then lastly, the 320i is a very problematic car in "general" so all the best man in sorting her out.

Ya, I agree that they may not be the best. I was using the one with the aluminium shaft until some guy at Goldwagen convinced me that these plastics are the real deal & I was sold. But my 320i is not that problematic though, other than the valve stem seals that I had by Papi from Centurion for R4500 I have not had a problem driving and it's now on 190 000km.
