The 123/BMW-6-R-V replaces most 6 cylinder distributors for BMW M30 engines (1968-'77)

Please note the following about the 123/BMW

If you want to tune your M30 engine, consider purchasing a 123/TUNE+-6-R-V-BMW. More information can be found here.

Please read the installation manual carefully. The manual contains further information on ignition timing and advance curves, as well as the specifications of the 123 ignition. The installation procedure for the 123 ignition system is also described step by step.

Coils and spark plugs

Although used coils all look alike, they should be viewed with suspicion since one cannot tell from the outside whether, and how often they were exposed to overheating in the past. Installing the 123ignition system will ensure that the coil will never be overheated again in the future. We recommend the High Energy Coil #2020.

Perhaps you will also need new spark plugs? At 123ignitionshop we recently added the spark plugs most commonly used in addition with the 123ignitions we offer. See: the spark plugs list.
