123/BMW-6-R-V-IE
The 123/BMW-6-R-V-IE replaces most 6 cylinder distributors for BMW M30 engines with a Bosch D-jetronic injection system (a D-jetronic has 2 extra contact points for controlling the injection), as produced between 1968 and 1977.
The 123/BMW-6-R-V-IE replaces most 6 cylinder distributors for BMW M30 engines with injection (1968-1977)
For example the 123/BMW-6-R-V-IE can be used in the 2500, 2800, 323, 325, 525, 528, 630 and 728 with a Bosch D-jetronic injection system (a D-jetronic has 2 extra contact points for controlling the injection). Please check dimensions and (when available) installation manual before ordering.
Features of the 123/BMW-6-R-V-IE electronic ignition
The unit offers 16 different advance-curves, which can be selected by means of a little switch. This is a great feature for easy fine-tuning your engine!
It also offers:
- Vacuüm-advance
- Automatic dwell
- Automatic power-cut after 1 second
- Gear shift retard
Please note the following about the 123/BMW
A TUNE+ version is now also available for the BMW 6 cylinder with injection!
Please read the installation manual carefully. It contains more information about static timing and the advance-curves, the specifications of the 123-ignition and a step-by-step description of the installation procedure.
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 123 Red Coil.
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.

BMW 3.0 CSI
Hallo , bei der Grundeinstellung für Zündung ( 3° vor OT keine Markierung am Schwung ) ca. 2cm vor OT gestellt und nach Beschreibung mit LED eingestellt - viel zu viel Nachzündung - sodass Motor nicht anspringt. Nach einiger Fehlersuche Zündverteiler nach vor gedreht und Dynamisch eingestellt. Motor läuft jetzt super. mfg
