Lol I just ordered the Bosch one from FCP and they immediately sent me this:

Bro cancel that order Bosch is hot garbage
You can test yourself by moving the coil to a different cylinder and seeing if the misfire follows it
Fwiw I dug deep into coil options a bit ago and decided to pony up for the Eldor ones that everyone seems to love for every engine

Interesting. I actually found the Eldors on FCP, though for some reason they're labeled as only being for these vehicles: 760i, 760Li, Cooper, M3, X5, Z4

I figured I'd check since I needed a set but really wanted to buy from there. Thankfully they do carry it, or at least the part number that Pizzaman has posted with that eBay link.
Hmm...that explains why when I replaced JRs coils awhile back, it didn't snap. I was like that's weird, how do I know it's in? Just pushed it all the way down as much as I could and that was it. Hopefully, it doesn't misfire down the road. It's working fine now and cured his misfires.
So do the Eldor coils snap into place like the originals?

When I was deep in the bowels of the internet looking at Eldor reviews I found someone saying that BMW was making the switch to them for every model, but slowly rolling it out to earlier models as they ramped up production to keep up. They started with the newer forced induction models and have been expanding from there, so you'll see some sites list them for nearly every model and some, well, I don't know what FCP is doing.
I bought a set of Eldor coils from fcpeuro and they work with no issues.
