Ignition coil — a genuine BMW part, number 12 13 1 247 281. The number stamped on the part is 12131247281; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1247281. You will find it on our Electrical shelf, under Ignition coil.

It fits every E36 body style (318i and 318ti, 1992–1999), with the M42, M43 or M44 engines — and the European-market versions. It also fits the E46 sedan, coupe and touring (316i, 316i 1.6, 316i 1.9 and 318i, 1997–2001), with the M43 engine.

BMW draws it on 7 diagrams, among them Ignition coil/spark plug (12_0575) and Ignition coil (12_0595). It weighs about 1.4 kg (3.1 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
