Detailed Product Description

This NGK ignition coil operates at 12 volts and is tailored for distributorless ignition systems, which are common in BMW vehicles like the 318i, 318is, 318ti, and Z3. The coil type is DIS, meaning it directly controls spark plugs without a distributor, improving ignition timing accuracy and reducing mechanical wear. The coil is not oil filled, which suits dry mounting environments and helps maintain stable operation. Featuring six pin-type terminals with female connectors and male terminals, it ensures secure electrical connections. Note that this ignition coil does not include a mounting bracket, so existing hardware must be reused or sourced separately.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for faulty or worn ignition coils in BMW 318i, 318is, 318ti, and Z3 models
• Resolves engine misfires caused by weak or inconsistent spark delivery
• Improves engine starting reliability in distributorless ignition systems
• Addresses rough idling and poor acceleration linked to ignition coil failure
• Prevents potential damage to ignition system components due to coil malfunction

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the NGK DIS Ignition Coil 48615, ensure the vehicle’s ignition system is distributorless and compatible with DIS coil types. Verify the 6-pin terminal connections match the vehicle’s wiring harness, noting the female connector and male terminal configuration. Since no mounting bracket is included, use the existing bracket or secure the coil appropriately to avoid vibration damage. Always disconnect the battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts.
