Ignition Coil Part Number

beta · 09-29-2011, 02:48 PM

Was about to order some parts and figured I'd get 2 ignition coils to have for spares in the car so I don't run into this problem, seems like cheap insurance for a relatively common issue.

However I'm having trouble with the parts. In that thread they used the bosch part which is 12131712219. Tischer says:
Electrical - Ignition system - Ignition coil
Ignition coil, z4, bosch 2003 - 2005

There's also part number 12137551260, tischer calls this one:
Electrical - Ignition system - Ignition coil
Ignition coil, z4, 3.2l 2006 - 2008

So is the 260 a better/newer part? Was it superseded? Is that the newest part?

Thanks.

I should've mentioned it but I already checked realoem, that lists the bosch part ending in 219. But it also says up to 06/2009.

Edit: I also already saw this thread, but they didn't arrive at any conclusion. I think the ERA might be the newer part (ending in 260) but I was hoping to get confirmation.

Bosch are the latest I believe.

Go for the BOSCH (12-13-1-712-219).

BMW doesn't really stock the ERA (12-13-7-551-260) at their warehouses anyway.
