Plug coil for M54 is only RM82 each from BA. RM82 x 6 = RM492. If yours is M54 la...the older one more expensive.

Your cooling coil is cheap.. What brand is it?

wah..different of RM 1020 & RM492 was very big man..:banghead: you can buy another 6 pcs for spare lol...

Just visited Titan absorber today. I was surprised that there are already 23 F30s fitted with their shocks. My B12 is getting noisier by the day. Sad though Richard can't give me back the early adopter price 10 yrs ago haha.., but I'm sold. Will be replacing it mid of next month. Anyone wants to buy off my B12?

Ignition coil easily DIY so can buy and replace. You don't need to change all 6 when 1 fail. If you did keep the remaining 5 as spares. Just need to remove each ignition coil individually and the engine will run smooth to find the faulty unit.

Might be a good idea to change all 6. I read before that all 6 need to be replaced at the same time. I didnt believe it and change mine one by one when it goes bad. In the end, ended up changing all 6 within 2-3 months of the first one. So it is true that when one goes bad, the others will follow soon.

in my case i have so far replaced 3 coils...all at different times,with USED ones handed over by a friend who replaced all of his at one go.so i still have 3 of the orignal 16 yr old ones fitted...and another 2 spare USED ones.....he he...good ole german engineering...me likey...

It's called the Final Stage Resistor Unit (FSU), also called the hedgehog.

Seems like good price. I thought M-sport absorbers are a lot more expensive than this.
