Hi folks, the zed is developing a bit of a hiccough on low end acceleration - suspect coils and/or spark plugs but no codes yet.
It's a 2007 2.5i - N52 engine. I'll replace the lot - it's done nearly 80k and I can't be faffed with doing bits.

Spark plugs - I believe NGK iridium ILZFR6D11 are the ones to have?

Coils - Delphi seem to be the ones fitted by BMW, but are more expensive (and slightly harder come by) than Bosch. What's the difference, really? Any thoughts on replacing with either?

Cheers folks!
 
My coils were BMW Bosch so I replaced them with Bosch and Bosch spark plugs, 35% off at ECP at the moment. They have been on for a while and are fine.
 
Mine developed a misfire too yesterday afternoon, so have reserved a set of Bosch coil packs from eurocarparts using the 35% discount code
Replaced the plugs earlier on in the week as I did a full service
 
You might want to try WKD56 at GSF Carparts. Apparently it's 56% off their inflated website prices this weekend. But you might find you get a lower net price than the discount from Euro are offering.
Don't know what it is with these two these days, always getting some sort of discount code from them. Worse than DFS!
 
Just picked up 6x Bosch coils from Amazon for £18 each, and 6x NGK plugs from carparts4less for £9 each.

All in about £160 for the lot :thumbsup:
