It's about the same price... BAV Auto sells the 4 coil pack and their high performance wires for about $380 plus tax and shipping. You still have the problem of the long plug wires, inability to replace an individual coil, and the wire mess under the hood.

This final kit is being sold at the same price as the next group buy. Given the long time between group buys, if you are thinking about this now is the time.

So we just launched a sale on the M42 kits and I will extend the discount to this final M44 kit. First $380 takes in (shipped in the US).

Why you have any kits left is beyond me. This should be on the must have list of any m42 owner not keeping their car completely stock for concourse reasons.

We've been building and selling these kits for E30 M42's to fund our racing habit and have developed a PnP kit that allows M42/M44 owners to install a Coil On Plug conversion for about the price of a coil pack and new set of wires.

Let me know your interest. For those of you not familiar with my or the car you can get more details on the only TURBO M42 in BMW Club Racing. here at www.hqautosport.com

Rob.

Feel free to PM or e-mail any questions!

If it works on a obd1 e36 m42, I'm interested

Rob, I just moved this kit from one car that I am getting rid of to another car I bought. It is such a huge improvement over the stock setup that I wanted to say thank you again.

I'm Rob's business partner.

That's great news. Glad to hear that you noticed a difference when you upgraded the newer car with your kit.

Rob or Paul...

Any m42 kits remaining? what do you do about the harness?

[e30pq]

We have inventory on M42 COP kits.

Unfortunately, the M44 harness is a smaller market so we only sell the M44 harness in group buys of 8 or more harnesses. If you could pull together a group of 8 we can build out a batch of harnesses.

Thanks

Anyone wanna jump in for M44 GB?

[bmwrovers]

just to clarify that these kits will fit plug n play on E36 m42's??

[e30pq]

It depends. If the car has a coil pack with 4 connectors (one for each cylinder) into the coil pack, yes the M42 COP kit without harness will work.

If you want to confirm, send me or post a photo of your coil pack and I will confirm.

does that work?

part number 12 13 1 247 281 bosch

Thanks for the visual.

No, cars that use that coil require the custom M44 harness.

The COP kit fits on either an M44 or an M42 engine but the wiring for an E30 318is M42 is different which is why it doesn't require a new harness to use the COP kit.

This is a photo of the E30 318 M42 coil pack.

The E30 M42 coil pack takes 4 coil connections one for each cylinder and each connector is the same as the connector that attaches to the separate COP Kit coils.

Does that make sense?

[bmwrovers]

so what is the cost for the group buy for the M44 harness?

[eurohb]

Do you offer the plates still? Need one for a m44.
