Yea I had the Delphi coils. They're supposed to be half decent. Wanted to try OEM Bosch this time with stock plugs and stock gap. See if it resolves my issue. Troubleshooting

Anybody interested in purchasing a F10 N55 Wagner intercooler please email me here. Paid $900 selling $675 shipped anywhere in USA

Do you still have the intercooler ?

Bad transfer case causing hesitation. Not the FMIC.

Yea i wanted to try the Bosch coils which were a little more expensive than the Delphi coils. The BOSCH Coils are O.E.

Not sure if I can.... took car to dealer because car was hesitating at low rpm. They took it on highway and replicated the issue. Apparently they've seen this many times before and knew exactly what it was. It was a great catch by the dealer. After confirming their suspicions the dealer replaced the transfer case and all is Great Now. Zero hesitation at low rpm......
