                  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...
