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
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 230000 km

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

Cons: no availability

My first car was a Volkswagen Passat. I was on a budget and got a good deal on a really nice car. It was a dream to ride, except when everything kept going wrong. I went through multiple ignition coils, the car caught fire (bad coil, again) and had thousands in damage. Beyond that, getting tires balanced wasn\u2019t a simple job. Everywhere needed to special order shims from Germany because that\u2019s the only way a Volkswagen tire could be balanced.

Pros: dream to ride, good deal
Cons: car caught fire, expensive maintenance
