OE Delphi Coil Pack - BMW and MINI - Part No. 12138616153

Bring back crisp spark, sharper throttle response and smooth idle with this factory-spec coil-on-plug unit from the BMW Group’s OE supplier, Delphi. Part number 12138616153 is a direct-fit ignition coil designed for a wide range of turbocharged petrol applications, including popular four-cylinder and straight-six models found across F-series M cars and performance variants. It is a fast, plug-and-play fix for hesitation, stuttering under load and those annoying P0300-P0306 misfire faults.

We run these on our own cars and install them for customers daily. Feedback is consistently positive for reliability, hot and cold start performance and drivability after replacing tired coils. If your engine is stumbling, the check engine light is on, idle is lumpy or fuel economy has dipped, refresh the ignition with this OE-quality pencil coil for a noticeable improvement.
