Hi
I would like to replace the ignition leads on my 320/6 they seem to cost £100. The e30 leads are cheaper and more choice of makes.
Will the e30 325i leads fit?
Thanks

I do not know for sure. It is the internal resistance that makes a difference. I think that the connectors are maybe the same indeed.

If they would, they would definitely advertise them as such. But they don't fit. The 325i always has the dizzy cap at the end of the camshaft. Different position, different connectors.

i dont think they fit, two of the leads arnt long enough as i had real bother when trying to get a set of leads from a motor factors. all the ones listed for a e21 seemed to be the same as an e30 so kept getting the wrong leads. some had the wrong end and some didnt have long enough leads to reach two of the plugs as the dizzy is further away than the coil on a e30.

Cheers Gazzam my local motor factor has done the same thing.
Cambiare ve522881 looks like they are long enough but the plug connector is too deep to fit the plugs.
I'll try and order some online
