                I've always used Bosch with good results. Don't have first-hand experience with Delphi.

                  I used Delphi coils on my last change at about 171,000 miles. That was 28,000 miles ago and no problems.

                      I used Delphi on my n54 in desperation and had issues and immediately went back to Bosch.  The Bosch cp's have a lifetime warranty as of 2017-ish so no reason to buy anything else as far as i'm concerned.

                            For clarity, I have nothing against Delphi in general but in this application I would not recommend them.

                              When the weather gets a little nicer I'll get to the coils. Today got a little bored while healing and the gf helped me do an update I've been waiting to do

                                    Drivers side external door handle just broke. I don't know why e36s even came with door cards. At a minimum they should have come with some kind of quick-release fasteners... Maybe I'll get some hood pins to put it back on with this time.

                                      I just leave my door cards in the garage.  The door handle is a pain, have you done one before?

                                        I just leave my door cards in the garage.  The door handle is a pain, have you done one before?

                                        No. I see they're kind of expensive as well, so I'm hoping I don't have to replace the whole thing...

                                          my drivers front brake caliper partially locked up on the way home from work friday night.

                                          i felt it happen about 4 blocks from home and pulled over to confirm. i finished my drive home.

                                          smoke was pouring from the wheel well when i got there.

                                          i was impressed by the heat generated.

                                          i busted out the lasers and glow sticks and had a rave so i wouldn't waste the smoke show.

                                          taking the bus to work while waiting for parts is not fun.
