I need a coil pack for the e30 m42 engine i'm about to drop into my e21.
Can i use the coil pack form any e30/e36 m40/m42/m44 based engine?
Thanks in advance. Tom

In theory, yes, I'd say. Just the mounting bracket / configuration differs.
Let me know if you need an E30 coil pack.
Cheers,
Chris

Not all iS models use the same type of coil packs.
All the E30/E36 M42 engines seem to use the individual type coils, the M44 has one large coil pack with a totally different connector and the M40 uses a distributor system so is incompatible.

Cheers Ian, Good stats!
Do you know if the connectors are the same between the e30 and e36 m42 coil packs?
Thanks,
Tom
