    MSD blaster 2 coil...any good?

    i am going on my 3rd coil in 5 years.
    i thought that the orginal coil was bad 2 years ago and bought a new one, ended up beimg a wiring issue, but i left the new part on (couldn't hurt, it's new).

    that coil took a shit in Jan. and i put the old one on, problem fixed!

    now the last 4 days it has been doing the same thing, it gets super hot right away (can't touch it hot) like a dying coil does along with the cutting out at 4500-5000 RPM or between 1/4-1/2 throttle ubder hard acceleration (the check engine light comes on too indicating a incorrect mixture).

    noone local has a stock replacement Bosch Coil instock and at shop cost i am looking at $50. AutoZone has MSD Blaster 2's for $36 or MSD Blaster 3's for $46 (these come with and extra add on thingy where the coil wire goes and i have to change out the end?)

    how do these work out?
    as good as stock for less $??? hell yea?
    better than stock? even more hell yea?
    worse than stock??? :(

    I had one on my 325 and it worked fine. I never really noticed any improvement (But I wasn't really looking), but I also didn't notice any loss.

        i have one in my 325i. didn't notice any performance gain. but my stock one went out and this was free.



        didn't have to do any modifications except for a bracket.

          yea the OD is smaller than the stock coil so i had to make a spacer to take up the slack.
