Ignition for BMW X Series E53 (2000-2006)

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.

The IP Coils from Ignition Projects offer a higher power amplifier built-in. This causes the coils to produce 4x more spark energy than stock coils. It also generates an ultra-fast multi-spark discharge of 10 sparks up to the highest RPM. The spark amperage is increased by 100% which accelerates the ignition and combustion processes. This is critical for forced-induction applications and has a major impact on the performance of naturally-aspirated vehicles as well.

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 Replacement Spark Plugs Premium AGS Dielectric Grease Included

ssentially, spark plugs are the pulse of your engine. It forces electricity to arc across a gap and the electricity must be at a very high voltage. As the piston travels up the first time, compressing the air-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber, the distributor sends an energy surge along the spark plug wire. Once the piston reaches the top, the spark plug fires, igniting the air-fuel mixture and forcing the piston back down, creating power. As you can see, the spark plug is a very important part of the engine. Therefore, in order to maintain the highest performance a car can offer, care should be taken to perform the proper scheduled maintenance in a timely fashion. When your spark plugs are worn out, you will notice a decrease it power and efficiency, so be sure to replace them as soon as possible to restore your vehicle’s performance.

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. ometimes, 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.
