Ignition for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

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.

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
