Hello gents- So I ordered up the supposed Coil Set, Plugs, and Wires for my 2006 E55. Well the Coils and wires look and fit perfect however this jackass is selling the completely incorrect set of Bosch plugs. Wasn't able to contact Bosch until this AM (after my install of all the plugs to confirm!) oh well certainly a plug and coil changing expert now! Haha

If you scroll down his list of compatible cars it shows the 03-06 E55 AMG. Good times!

I bought a "complete" set of leads once. Genuine Bosch but it only included the standard length ones, the shorter and longer leads had to be purchased separately. It's how it goes sometimes unfortunately.

+1, I just did an order through them. Or pelicanparts.com
Can't go wrong with either one, might cost a tiny bit more on some items but well worth it for the correct genuine parts.

Tom, I was thinking about purchasing those coils and wires. How are they working out, quality? Any issues?

I'm going to return the entire package to the guy. My idle has been rough since I replaced with this setup. I decided to just spend the money on the OEM Bosch Coils, Magecor Wires, and NGK Spark Plugs.

Amazon Amazon

I found a set of 8 New Bosch Coils on EBAY for $348.00 Seemed pretty fair price considering.
