If you're noticing misfires, poor fuel economy, reduced engine performance, or ignition-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), a failing ignition coil is likely the cause. Late-model BMWs, such as the E60 M5, E63 M6, and E64 M6, use a coil-on-plug ignition system, where each cylinder has its own coil and spark plug for efficient ignition. When a coil fails, the affected cylinder won't receive a spark and will misfire. Even if the misfire doesn’t trigger a DTC, you’ll still feel the difference in engine performance—rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or a strong fuel smell. To avoid these issues, we recommend replacing your ignition coils every 40,000-60,000 miles.

The S85 engine uses a specialized ignition system called Ionic Current Control, which differs from traditional knock sensors. BMW engineers developed this system to more accurately detect pre-ignition and misfires in the high-revving, ten-cylinder S85. Instead of relying on conventional knock sensors, the system uses each spark plug to measure current after the power stroke, transmitting that data to the Ionic Current Control Unit (ICC). This allows for precise monitoring of combustion events. To support this, the S85’s ignition coils are specially designed with a modified “pencil” shape and lack a Zener diode in the secondary winding, allowing for accurate current measurements without triggering fault codes in the engine control unit (DME). These ignition coils are manufactured to the exact specifications of the OE Ionic Current Control-compatible ignition coil, and will not trigger ignition-related fault codes in the DME.

Discover the Cometic MLS Multi-Layer Steel Gasket

Experience excellence with one of the market's premier multi-layer-steel (MLS) gaskets. This gasket is engineered for long-lasting performance, making it a top choice for high-performance and stock replacement applications. With a thickness of .070" and an 87mm cylinder bore, it offers outstanding durability. What sets Cometic MLS gaskets apart is their ability to be installed dry, thanks to the sealant that forms a bond with dry surfaces.

MLS, which stands for Multi-Layer Steel, is comprised of three layers of stainless steel. The outer layers feature an embossed Viton-coated stainless steel that not only provides an exceptional seal but also exhibits excellent rebound characteristics and resistance to corrosion. These MLS head gaskets effectively reduce bore distortion and can withstand extreme cylinder pressures.
