Replaced all 6 coils with a set of Bremi from FCP 60k miles/9 years ago. I’ve got a new set on the way thanks to their lifetime replacement program. The customer service rep said they should be changed every 3-4 oil changes which sounds crazy to me He said I got luck they lasted 9 years. But I was expecting more like 100k not 60k. Granted I was going uphill with a full load with lights/AC/stereo all on. Probably should have lightened the electrical load but it’s never been a problem until today. SES light came on. Engine started misfiring. Pulled over immediately. Ran the codes. Got a P1353 (cylinder 6 misfire/coil).
Pros: lasted 9 years
Cons: misfiring, only 60k miles
Mileage: 96560 km
Stock Bremi/bosch are the way to go.
Pros: stock coils are good
Cons: shiny coils are garbage

Ive had mine misfire all of a sudden, whole car shook, CEL lit up, said code "cylinder 1 misfires" sometimes it ran normal but then rough again. If i gave more than 1/2 throttle it shook even more and it had no power at all. When i checked the coils on mine they were original "BREMI" manufactured and even the date from back in the day was on the bremi coils. They now held up 230000 kilometers since when the car rolled off the factory, thats more than enough service
Pros: long service life, 230000 km
Cons: eventual misfires, loss of power

BMW
Mileage: 230000 km

I’ve never had an issue with my Bremi coils. Just replaced the suppression tubes. M50/M52 coils very rarely fail. Just the tubes.
Pros: no issues, reliable
Vehicle:

I replaced one ignition coil, we all know the others are otw out now but I'd have to wait a month for the fcp or ecs lifetime warranty and i may just do bremi at this point, since no availability sadly
Cons: no availability
I run the bremis on my drift car work great
Pros: work great
Vehicle:
BMW
I just put the latter on my 2000 S, they work well.
Pros: work well
