Thanks, I'll check the MB parts if I can't get the DIS to work. But I really 
don't like the original BMW ditributor setup on this engine, as it's not like 
the newer M20 engines with the rotor on the front of the camshaft, it's on 
the side of the engine, very low.
Here the rain pours with buckets, and besides my best efforts to isolate the 
distributor, I get rough running when going over big puddles. So a very high 
mounted coilpack will be very nice :)
