Ignition for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Your BMW's ignition system is critical for smooth engine operation. This category contains parts used in the BMW ignition system, including spark plugs, ignition coils, spark plug wires and boots, ignition rotors and caps, distributors and distributor caps. On most 1991 and later model BMWs, your car has what's known as a coil-on-plug system, where each cylinder has its own ignition coil that sits directly atop the spark plug (so you won't have spark plug wires on those BMWs.) A fresh set of spark plugs is an essential part of any BMW engine tune up.

Every 60-80,000 miles, we recommend replacing your spark plugs and coils to ensure your ignition system is running optimally. Over time carbon can build up around the head of the spark plug and decrease spark strength and effectiveness, leading to weaker fuel mixture detonation, misfires, and potential check engine lights. To prevent this, we have put together our High-Performance Ignition Service Kits, now featuring our very own Turner Performance Ignition Coils! These kits include our new Turner Performance Ignition Coils, new OEM Bosch Platinum+4 spark plugs, and AGS dielectric grease. The new Turner Performance Ignition Coils are designed with performance and efficiency in mind. An engine needs 3 main components to run (Air, Fuel, and Spark.) Ignition coils are responsible for 1/3 of the operation of your engine and it would be smart to weigh the options when shopping. Turner ignition coils are modified to increase energy output; more energy output results in a faster, more efficient, and consistent burn to make sure your fuel is being utilized to its maximum potential.

RACING SPARK PLUG FOR M50/M52/M54 ENGINES
These spark plugs are recommended by BMW Motorsport for use in their DTC racing engines. We find a slight horsepower increase and greatly increased durability over the OEM road car spark plugs in competition use. We attribute the improvements to the fact that these spark plugs are designed for the high temperatures and cylinder pressures encountered in a racing engine. These spark plugs are a direct replacement and come pre-gapped just like the factory road car plugs.
Please note: these plugs are not for the S54 engine in the E46 M3, MZ3, or Z4 M
