I have a 1985 BMW R80RT.english model. It would cut out after 8 miles then start again. I was told it was the coil and to replace it and the ignition module.I had the coil tested at the local Bosch agent and it had died.BMW coil and ign modules are a horrendous price. We found a Diamond Electric Co Part No FTM-608A1 (40 077) twin outlet waste spark Coil.It's a lot smaller. And a Intermotor 15000 (40 217)ignition module.These were Bosch cross over numbers I T.I.G welded a bracket to fit the coil.The engine starts and runs
Coil resistance is 0.6 ohms BMW coil is 1.3 ohms.OK they are not BMW parts. can you see any problems using them

e-bay "there be coils there!" for the bidding its well worth a look if you need parts.. just type in bmw r 80 parts,,,then let loos your wallet!!!

hi John and ZL4r0
I have the same problem and I can't understand if you are talking about this ignition coilhttp://www.motobins.co.uk/library/70420.... or this onehttp://www.motobins.co.uk/library/70800.... (called ignition coil in the BMW handbook).
any further help is welcome
regards
Paolo
Hi Palo. Your Pictures look the same as what I fitted. If the part nos cross over it's worth a try.Mine worked out ok. Check coil resistance. Pureists will tell you fit the "OE" parts. There was a update in the coils from BMW. good luck
