Heck no, it's already got a 9.2 second 0-60, why ruin that performance with a cheap American engine?

Can't see more power and torque hurting 0-60, especially since it's mid-engine.

Also, because CIS.

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.

im always in disbelief when I see a clapped one with 170k miles for $16.5k

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

You opened the vent... bold move!

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.
