Original BMW Ignition Coil Connector Socket Housing for BMW (2001–2024) and Mini Cooper (2007–2016)

The Original BMW 12-52-7-519-996 ignition coil connector is the socket housing that plugs onto an ignition coil and holds the coil's harness terminals, used on BMW 1 through 8 Series, X, Z4, and M models from 2001–2024 and on Mini Cooper models from 2007–2015. BMW calls it a socket housing, and it is the current revision of the part, identified by its blue lock. The housing weighs 7 grams and is sold individually. BMW began producing this version in April 2013 and marks it as exchangeable retrospectively with the earlier 12-52-1-437-985, so it is the correct replacement on older cars that left the factory with the previous number. It is made in Cyprus.

Every Original BMW Part on this page is backed by a 24-month parts warranty.

A coil connector housing keeps the terminals aligned and latches the harness to the coil so the connection stays seated under engine heat and vibration. The blue lock is the visual cue that separates this revision from the superseded housing. BMW uses the same number across an unusually wide spread of engines, including the M54 and M56 six-cylinders of the E46 era, the N52, N54, and N55 sixes, the N20 and N26 four-cylinders, the N62 and N63 V8s, and the S54, S55, S63, and S85 M engines. That breadth means one housing covers cars spanning more than two decades of BMW production.
