Did someone tried to install coil on plug on a K11?
I'd be willing to try but wonder how to find what model may fit.

I`ll guess it would be a problem with the limited space available.

Some pencil coils are 22-23 mm in diameters (just found that on my car, that's how the idea came to my mind) and line 140mm in length. Considering the size of the BMW plug wrench, that might fit.

I'll change my spark plugs soon for iridium ones, I'll take some measurements but I was wondering if shorter coils were available.
