I just picked up the additional run of COP plates from the machine shop. We now have these complete and ready to ship. These allow you to use the M54 BMW coils on your M42, eliminating the spark plug wires and existing coils. This solution is cheaper than replacing the wires and plugs for your M42!
These are the same kits that we run on our BMW CCA Turbo M42 Race Car. These kits are a bit different from some other kits as they include the BMW rubber seals and washers for the valve cover as well as nylon spacers to stand the COP plate off the valve cover.
$75 shipped via 2-3 day Priority.
I also have a limited number of kits that include coils. These are used (low mileage) coils, but have been tested. The #1 coil has been modified so these are plug and play.
$175 shipped via 2-3 day Priority.
PM me for details.
We powerdcoated the kit on the race car, but the standard plates are the aluminum finish. |  | | | 04-08-2008, 10:24 PM | #2 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

The spacing should all be identical.
But I'm fairly certain that the M44 uses a single wiring harness going into the coil pack, and not individual plugs for each coil. Just like the 1995 m42. That basically means that the wiring is not simple plug and play. Given how important having a good spark is, I'm not one to go into my spark plug harness and start chopping it up.
There is another thread about this plates showing how to make the conversion on an E36, but again, I'm not about to go hacking up that part of the wiring harness. | | | | |
