Wish me luck, about to buy some FCP ignition coils

[Tiger]

I checked with Rockauto.com and they have coils for $52 to $64 each. I put in 1993 525i.

$30 each at FCP? Damn!

I think they have the v8 set for about 160 with free shipping on ebay. the prices are lower there. I had to pay 10% extra to get the lifetime warranty.

+1 on the crappy parts!

and another thing...they might have a lifetime warranty but check out how long it will take to get your parts? will you have to pay for shipping? how long will be the labor to change them out...

it all adds up...

i dont know about you guys but for me id rather pay a little more now than a lot later...

my 2 cents

Exactly, 3 sets of control arms? I did get a final refund but what a waste of time. At least I got the replacement down to less than 45 min a side.

I certainly understand your sentiments, guys. I've had to shiatcan a thrust arm from them before. If it didn't take me no more than 7 minutes tops to change all 6 coils (and I didn't have a box of nominally working coils on standby) I wouldn't wander down this road. I might have to pay for return shipping, but if I can change em out every 25kmiles or so, when they invariably develop hairline cracks, at least twice, i'll eat the inconvenience.

let us know how this works out, sometimes parts are parts.
