N54 can I mix stock coils with Bosch Coil

Hey everyone,

One of the ignition coils on my n54 135i has gone bad. Shopping for the part on FCP. Wondering if I need to buy the genuine BMW part or can I mix the stock coils with this Bosch one: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...sch-0221504470

Thanks!

In my experience, 1 bad coil means more shortly down the road. N54 uses the same coils as M54 and other engines. BMW version or bimmerworld, bosch. Take your pick.

It takes a bit if work to get to the coilpacks so do them all and the plugs. IMO changing packs and not plugs is just foolish
