How many CL600TT/65 owners running on original coilpacks?
So coilpacks are considered a maintenance item when owning an CL600/65 but how many of you are still running your original coilpacks?
What are you driving habits, oil change intervals, and anything else you can think of that contributes to the longevity of your coilpacks.

How many miles did you put on with your Speedriven ECU before your coilpacks died? I notice everyone on MBWorld claims after few weeks with a tune the original coilpacks die...
I've read a few threads of folks putting on several thousands to tens of thousands of miles on tuned M275s with original coilpacks.

Moment you tune it, the life of those coils are reduced greatly, I think my coils only lasted 3-4k miles after I did a EC tune around 43k

My 65 is tunned and I am still on the original coil packs (at least the old part number coils).. I havent had any issues but havent had the car to the track or anything crazy and I only put about 2k KMs on the car/year. Car currently has ~140k kms., I have new coil packs sitting in a box but was going to wait till the originals took a dump before throwing in the new ones (although I may put in the new ones and sell the old ones while they are still working.. most likely Ill wait till they die though)..
