vs
Ignition coil HITACHI or Bremi
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
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

Hitachi ignition coils. Got mine off Rockauto for $30 each. I believe they might be OE
Pros: cheap, possibly OE
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
Bremi had premature failures in the first few years of the e46 and were replaced as OEM by Bosch.
Cons: premature failures
Vehicle:
BMW
Bremi ignition coils would crap-out
Cons: would crap-out
