which coils to buy?

[m5bbq]

I bought the car about 5k miles ago. The car now has about 57k on the clock. About to do major service. I bought "OEM" coils from FCP. They are delphi units with metal body. Are these okay to use? or should I swap them for Bosch units? Just wanting to know what's the true OEM equivalent or something you guys use with success. Thank you.

I had watched this video that vehicle virals had made with his f10 m5

He had bought Delphi coils for a older m5 as in his car is a 2016 but he bought Delphi coils for a 2014 m5 and he ran into issues from a simple notch in the plastic part of the coil causing fitment issues

I don't think brands make a huge difference but definitely make sure you get the year right

I got Delphi and they are OEM grade. No issues

Delphi are OEM on later models and are good coils. Eldor are good too.
