Replace your old and failing coils to optimize the health and performance of your engine

Ignition coils play a vital role in the performance, efficiency, and health of your M52, M52TU, M54 (2001-2002), M62, S52, and S62 BMW engine. Each cylinder gets its own ignition coil for optimum efficiency (no more spark plug wires) and it fires at precisely the right time to ensure a complete burn of the fuel/air mixture. A bad coil will result in misfires, rough running, stumbling, poor fuel economy, and other engine issues. Also, unburnt fuel will also damage catalytic converters and O2 sensors. Diagnosis of misfires and rough running almost always starts with the ignition coils. You can usually isolate faulty coils by moving them to different cylinder banks. However, we always recommend replacing coils in complete sets to eliminate the damage to computers, control modules, and other electrical systems from a voltage spike.
Price listed is per coil. This part number does not include the rubber connector boot, which is not required unless the original is cracked or contaminated by oil from a leaking valve cover gasket (very common). This coil is produced by Bremi, the original supplier to BMW for this ignition coil and many other ignition and others parts for your car. It has a two year warranty. This ignition coil has been revised by BMW several times and is sometimes referenced by multiple different part numbers. This coil is the latest version from and may be used to replace an of the following ignition coil part numbers: 12131748018, 12139067830

So what would be the difference between Foxwell NT510 multi-system scannerand Carly app in terms of diagnostics? I know coding wise there are pros and cons between them.

Carly can read and clear codes, also can register batteries at $15 a pop. I don’t think it can code injectors though… at least I haven’t been able to find a way.

The Foxwell can read OBD codes from any car and also do specific vehicle operations to BMW / Mini / Rolls. It’s a lot better in terms of diagnostics. It has a lot more functionality in terms of reading live data, freeze frame data, activating individual components to check for faults etc. If you had a tricky fault i’d say you have a much better chance of pinpointing it with the Foxwell tool.

If your E46, E39, X3, X5, Z3, or Z4 temp gauge reads cold (lower than normal) it's probably due to a thermostat that is stuck open. Overheating can have many causes but a thermostat stuck closed is possible but unlikely. This is an OEM M52TU/M54 thermostat manufactured by Wahler - the original supplier to BMW for this part. As the OEM it meets.
In case you’ve been living under a rock you’re entire life, the BMW M3 has become one the most iconic sports cars of all time. It has become the standard that all other sports cars strive to become one day. The E46 M3 costs $15k to $20k for a nice one.

The 330i Performance Package, known as ZHP to BMW geeks, was an optional performance package introduced back in 2002 on the E46 generation 3 Series. E46 330 Vs E39 530. Reply Reply Author. Original Poster. Tuesday 17th August 2010. I recently sold my E39 540, the best car i ever owned.

It also has a lot more functionality i terms of DIYs since it can do resets/adaptations

The interface and connection is also a lot better than Carly.

I like the fact that Carly can do simple coding but in general i’m not a fan of their interface and their connection is pretty bad…. even when compared to other wifi based iOS OBD apps

Look here: Foxwell NT510 BMW function list

In summary…

Both are great tools, depends upon what you’re looking for. Coding and serious diagnostics should always be done over a wire in my opinion. Actually for coding, I use INPA/NCS.

If you want something you can just leave plugged in and read codes or just log if you feel like it, it would seem Carly is the way to go.

For quick reference I have the dongle in my car and my phone is always in my pocket, for more detailed scanning I like the Foxwell NT510 scan tool over app based tools.

Carly for BMW review:

I used Carly for my wife’s previous E88 128 convertible and it worked great – no having to do one item at a time, etc. Not quite sure what the problem is with the F-cars, because the principle is the same – read coding data, modify, write coding data. Apparently the new “network” and whatever read/write protocol that implies is far different than the CANbus of the E-series cars.

By comparison, E-Sys has improved vastly over the past year or two and coding both my F30 and the wife’s new F23 was relatively easy, particularly since you can save the coding data, disconnect, take the computer inside to do the modifications on a copy of the saved data, then reconnect and push the data back using the modified file. No more sitting in the car searching for the feature to be coded while the engine’s idling.

Ps. Actually, the Carly adapter is Bluetooth. E-Sys looks for a connection via the ethernet port on your laptop. It won’t recognize BT at all – at least, I’ve not been able to make it do so. If your laptop doesn’t have an ethernet/RJ45 connector, you’ll need to find a device that does. Pretty sure that you can’t use a USB-to-ethernet adapter, either.
