Ignition coil: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine has an inductive ignition system with static ignition voltage distribution. Each cylinder has a separate ignition coil, which is plugged directly into the cylinder head cover.
The ignition circuit of this coil ignition consists of:
- Ignition coil with primary and secondary coil
- Ignition output stage in the engine control unit
- Spark plug, connected to the secondary coil
Each spark plug receives its high-tension voltage from its own ignition coil (pencil coil) and a separate individual ignition output stage within the engine control unit.
