Ignition for BMW 5 Series E28 (1982-1988)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Your BMW's ignition system is critical for smooth engine operation. This category contains parts used in the BMW ignition system, including spark plugs, ignition coils, spark plug wires and boots, ignition rotors and caps, distributors and distributor caps. On most 1991 and later model BMWs, your car has what's known as a coil-on-plug system, where each cylinder has its own ignition coil that sits directly atop the spark plug (so you won't have spark plug wires on those BMWs.) A fresh set of spark plugs is an essential part of any BMW engine tune up.

Bosch WR9LS spark plug for M20 and M30 engines. Listed as BMW part #'s 12121279599 and 12121469531. Over time spark plugs become contaminated, worn, and "fouled out". This can cause a weak or missing spark leading to issues with fuel efficiency, misfires, check engine codes, and poor idle or even direct damage to your catalytic converter. This OEM spark plug made by Bosch will restore OE spark plug operation and function, returning lost power and fuel efficiency.
