Does anyone know where I can get a set of coils packs on the island besides at BMW of Honolulu and does anyone know of the going price for these? I havent called around yet plan on doing that tomorrow

i would recommend ordering them online from somewhere.. i have a BAD feeling someone is going to rape you on them, if you buy them here from somebody...


pelicanparts, turnermotorsports, bimmerworld, all sorts of BMW OEM part websites... check those out, some offer free shipping

you might try Hawaii Import Parts...

Gene's right, Hawaii Import Parts is a good source or at least worth checking anytime you need a part. They have the ability to obtain almost any part you might need for your BMW at a fair price. No, they won't be dirt cheap but don't forget, they've got overhead to deal with. Ask for Owen, he's formerly with Aloha Otto Parts and a good guy.

thanks for the info I will try tomorrow, I have been searching the net and cheapiest I have found is $54 each

Hey, don't feel too bad, for sometime the coils on my Jag were going bad quite frequently and at the time they were only available from Jaguar for $225 each!!!:mad

now I dont feel so bad, I just hope this is the problem, I read on the forum and some folks that were having the same problem as me at start up said they did the "spraytest" water bottle spraying over the coils at night to see the spark jump off the coil and replaced those coils and then the problem went away. They also said that they tested them with the multimeter and the reading was fine. So we will see

I don't know, I hope that's your problem but I personally have never seen a BMW coil pack fail, but then again, my experience has been with cars 2000 and older.

I rode in that car a few times. It has a leaking steering box, so you can fix it for him.

You need to check out my bud, Tim Leclair at Foreign Automotive Parts. Your coil pack is $46.60 (Bremi) and he will ship via USPS priority mail. His website is www.fap99.com or you can call him at 800-728-1601, tell him I sent you, he'll treat you right.
