Second Hand BMW M8 Coil Pack

Yes, the BMW M8 (F91/F92/F93, launched 2019) is powered by the S63 twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine, which uses individual coil packs — one per cylinder, so eight in total. This is a petrol engine and coil packs are a standard part of its ignition system. If you have a diesel M8 listed somewhere, that is not a genuine variant; the M8 was only ever offered with the petrol V8.

The BMW M8 in F91/F92/F93 generation ran from 2019 onwards, and all variants across this generation share the same S63 engine code, so a coil pack from a 2020 car is very likely to be compatible with a 2022 car. That said, minor ancillary or specification changes can occur mid-production, so confirm the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and verify directly with the breaker before buying.

The Competition and standard M8 both use the same S63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, and the Competition tune is achieved through software and calibration changes rather than different ignition hardware. Coil packs are not a trim-level part, so the distinction between standard and Competition does not affect fitment here. Match on engine code rather than badge and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

No — the coil pack is an engine component and is not affected by body style. All three body styles of the F9x M8 use the same S63 V8 engine, so the coil packs are the same regardless of which body style you have. Focus on the engine code from your V5 rather than the body style when requesting a quote from a breaker.

The S63 V8 in the M8 has eight cylinders and one coil pack per cylinder, so a full set is eight coil packs. It is common practice to replace all eight at the same time rather than individual ones, since if one has failed the others are often at a similar age and condition. Ask your breaker whether they can supply a full set of eight from the same donor vehicle, as mismatched units from different sources are worth querying with your mechanic.

The BMW M5 (F90 generation, 2017 onwards) also uses the S63 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, which is closely related to the unit in the M8, making parts-sharing plausible in principle. However, whether a specific coil pack from an F90 M5 is a direct swap for an F92 M8 depends on the exact engine variant and any running production changes, so you should not assume interchangeability without checking. Give the breaker both registration numbers and ask them to confirm the engine codes match before committing to a purchase.
