BMW Maintenance & Tune-Up Parts for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

This is the OEM Bosch ignition coil that is the current replacement for most BMW 6 and 8-cylinder engines built since 2003. It's listed as a replacement coil for M54, M56, S54, N52, N54, N62, N63, N73, S63, S63TU and other engines. BMW has made numerous changes to ignition coil part numbers in recent years but has approved this part number to work in the vehicles listed in our fitments tab. This part number replaces previous BMW part numbers 12130390064, 12130148594, 12131712219, and 12137551260.

Ignition coils are key to the efficiency and performance of your BMW. With a faulty coil the spark plug is not burning the air/fuel mixture properly and that can lead to problems anywhere in the engine and exhaust (including catalytic converters and O2 sensors). Problems with one or more coils will cause a fault code but not always a check engine light. A misfire code may be related to an ignition coil but could be from other things as well. Sometimes a visual inspection of a coil and coil boot will give an indication of a failure. You can also move coils around to different cylinder banks to see if the misfire code follows a suspect coil. We suggest always having one or two coils on hand to keep as spares.

This Bosch part also satisfies BMW's service bulletin for 2001-2003 E46 M3 ignition coils (SIB 12 24 05). That SIB calls for Bremi or ERA brand coils but BMW has replaced them with this Bosch design.

Our Performance CSL Air Filters start with a multi-layer synthetic dry cotton construction that contains millions of smaller fibers to provide superior filtration and performance over the OEM filter. Precisely manufactured for a secure fitment to ensure all the air entering your motor is properly filtered. With the CSL E46 only being offered in Europe, the OEM air filters are produced in much lower quantities making them harder to obtain and drive up the price. Turners solution is a price effective solution that offers premium filtration with increased flow, extended service interval and lifespan.

Having a clean air filter ensures your engine is running at its best efficiency! Proper air flow will help your engine breathe, get the best fuel economy and allow full power throughout the power band. Get the most out of your CSL intake with a new Synthetic High Flow Air Filter. These filters can be cleaned and reused for an extended service life.

Oiled versus Dry Filters:

Although both options will keep the air to your engine clean and improve airflow, there are a few differences to consider when choosing the best filter for you. Oiled filters allow better airflow than dry filters, however they require more maintenance. Oiled filters will likely get dirty faster, needing to be cleaned more regularly. When cleaning an oiled filter, it is necessary to oil them with filter oil afterwards.
Dry filters offer slightly lower airflow but are easier to maintain while still out performing the OE paper filter. Dry filters can be washed with warm soapy water. There is no oiling necessary afterwards.
Both dry and oiled filters flow better than stock and can be reused.
Product Features:

Direct Replacement for OEM filter
Increased air flow
Lower cost
Serviceable
Readily available
How to service an oiled air filter:

Take out your High Flow Filter
Gently tap your air filter on a smooth surface
Wash with warm soapy water a a soft bristled brush
Rinse with low pressure water
Let the filter air dry
