BMW Ignition Coil 12138616153 – Genuine BMW

Product Description

The BMW Ignition Coil 12138616153 is a genuine BMW direct ignition coil designed to provide the high-voltage electrical energy required to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the spark plug. It uses a coil-on-plug design, with one ignition coil fitted to each cylinder on compatible BMW petrol engines.

A properly functioning ignition coil is essential for reliable starting, smooth engine operation and consistent combustion. A weak or failed coil can cause engine misfires, rough idling, hesitation, reduced performance and an illuminated check-engine light.
