After market coilpacks?
I have a 2008 CL65 AMG (W216). I need new coilpacks on both sides. Are there any after market parts? Or do I have to buy MB original? I know what part number MB uses.
Where can I buy coils for a decent price? How much will it cost? I live in Europe so my car is euro spec. If I by coils from USA, is it the same part?
Is it hard to change the new coils? Are there any instruction videos on youtube? Do I need special tools?

They are far cheaper in the US at AutoZone, a nationwide parts store, but I don't know if they offer international shipping. The coil packs are around $750 each, less than half the cost of dealer parts, and they are rebuilt from the OEM parts so they fit and work perfectly.
There is a thread here with many pictures that shows how to swap coil packs and what tools you will need.
Perhaps there is a MB World vendor that is willing to buy these coils and ship them for a small markup to help out our overseas members?
