Ignition for BMW F87 M2 N55 3.0L

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.

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 is the current replacement for some BMW 6 and 8-cylinder engines built in the late 2000s and after. 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 below. It's listed as a replacement coil for N20, N55, and S55 engines. In March 2015 BMW approved it for N51/N52 engines. This part number replaces the previous BMW part number 12137594937 for the cars listed below.

Sold per coil. Includes boot and connector.

Vargas has contacted multiple coil manufacturing companies, paying for individual coils to be made then putting them through rigorous testing in the USA to ensure they matched or exceeded factory output. Once satisfied with the testing, the best performing coils were made to various colors and specs. Vargas is proud to offer a new line of ignition coil replacements for N5x Engines. VTT N5X coils are tested against Delphi 10571 coils which are an upgrade over stock N5X factory coils. The VTT performance matches or exceeds a Delphi 10571 Coil. The coils are offered in a choice of black, red, and blue.

VTT is proud to offer its very own Game Changer S55/N55 to B58 Coil conversion kit for the BMW S55/N55 platforms. The 55 series of engines has notoriously had ignition problems with the factory coils, while aftermarket upgrades do exist, they can be bulky. The solution is the BMW B58 ignition coils which are extremely robust and can support well over 1000WHP with no issues. This means a plug-and-play affordable solution that fits like stock, and looks AMAZING doing so! We designed our own 6061-T6 Billet bracket in a plethora of colors including matching shades for every S55/N55 Valve Cover. This means you can mix and match the color of the bracket with coil color, with VC color to truly tailor your engine bay to look exactly how you want it to! The kit comes with the following: 3 – Billet Aluminum Coil Brackets in the color of choice 6 – Plug and play VTT wiring harnesses 6 – Custom VTT stalks to convert the B58 coils to the S55/N55 head (We ensure proper spring length inside the boot for optimal spring-to-plug contact) *NOTE: Flash setting changes may be required when installing the conversion kit to ensure the proper function of the B58 coils with S55/N55 DME. This can be found in almost all flashing software settings such as MHD, Bm3, etc.* **NOTE: THESE BRACKETS FIT STOCK S55 VC, VTT S55 BILLET VC, and MOST N55 made after 2011. If you have an older N55 made before 01/2011. These may not fit. Purchase carefully as items that have been installed or attempted to cannot be returned.**

Rid your BMW's N55 of misfires, sluggish throttle response, rough idle, and power loss with Precision Raceworks' High-Performance Ignition Kit! Precision Raceworks' ignition kit is designed to fit any vehicle with an N55 engine and offers the highest output of any kit on the market! Featuring 100% Plug-&-Play connections, low resistance 50ohm/ft proprietary plug wires, and design technology from Marine and Aerospace applications, these coils are guaranteed to output consistent high voltage and current for optimal ignition system performance and reliability. Every component in this kit meets or exceeds OEM quality and features premium seals for dust and water resistance. While coils do not directly increase horsepower, stock BMW coils can wear out quickly, resulting in underperforming voltage and current output. This often leads to weaker spark intensity and reduced power output. Due to the increased voltage and current output, many customers have seen as much as 20+ whp/wtq gained by switching to Precision Raceworks coils over all other coils on the market! By upgrading to Precision's Performance Ignition Kit, spark quality can be restored, and lost power regained often with the additional power beyond what other coils provide. No software tune is required for installation or operation, but if desired, coil output can be increased to 118mJ from most software tuning companies!
