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.

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. These coils offered by Turner feature a blue housing that gives your engine the performance and aesthetic you're looking for. Features and Benefits: Increased Performance Direct Fitment Signature Turner Blue finish High Quality Bosch Platinum+4 Replacement Spark Plugs Premium AGS Dielectric Grease Included

Often an oversight in maintenance, ignition components are also susceptible to wear and tear. Spark Plugs can accumulate carbon, reducing the spark intensity and it's ability to properly ignite the air/fuel mixture, leading to misfires and generally declining performance. Other ignition components, such as coils, boots, wires, caps, and rotors, can also wear out over time due to factors like heat and contamination, preventing the current from reaching the spark plug. To start over fresh with all new components, we now offer these Ignition Service Kits. Each kit comes with brand new OEM quality components, replacing any potential fault points in your ignition system for peak performance!
