Detailed Product Description
The Prenco ignition coil 36-8042 is a critical component in the ignition system, responsible for converting the battery's low voltage into the high voltage needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinders.

The black and beige color coding helps identify the part easily during installation or maintenance. This ignition coil is compatible with a range of BMW models including the 323Ci, 325i, 328is, and M5, as well as Land Rover vehicles such as the Freelander, Range Rover, and X5, ensuring broad application across popular models.
