I am most likely going to have to replace one of my coil packs. Local stealers want $90+ for them so I checked BMA.
They have two different packs
1) a Bosch for $58.55
2) a Bremi for $46.02

Of course those prices are before any discounts or shipping charges.

Any opinions on which ignition coil is better?

I installed Bremi's on my E34 525i M50tu, ran it for 80k miles with ZERO problems whatsoever. It was strictly a preventive replacement, and the bosch ones i remember being much more expensive back when i did it. My E39 came stock with Bremi's ;)

It's funny, I've been pricing spark plug wires and the Bremi are more the Bosch. I still haven't decided which to go with. Maybe I'll price them at the dealer and they recommend / carry one of these brands as OEM.

car, the bosch aftermarket wires aren't the same as what your car originally came with

Maybe it just silly sentiment, but I have always been a Bosch faithful- Even my dishwasher and toaster are Bosch. But here's the rub- have you noticed how Bosch **** seems to love to fail? Go Bremi-

And this is fun: My GF's Saturn dumped its fuel pump at 65K miles. Bosch unit, motor only: $290. No sending unit, just the whirry-go-round.

I bought my 1975 2002 for $200.

Also, there's a place by me that has a decent web inventory and seemingly decent prices. I don't know how they are, service-wise. But coils were listed for $43.55. Didn't state which brand. http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/index.htm

Just because it's got the bosch name on it doesn't mean that it's worth of whatever design or durability premonitions one might have regarding the company. A lot of Bosch stuff is made in locations associated with lower manufacturing quality.

I'd go with the bremi over bosch.

My recomendation if you aren't replacing all 6 is to match whatever is in there. Mine ran like crap with missmatched coils even though the coils worked fine in the touring and the sedan seperately.
