MINI R56 Cooper S Ignition Coil Pack (4-Pack) – OE 12137550012

This is a set of 4 ignition coils built for the MINI R56 Cooper S, cross-referenced to OE number 12137550012 among others below. If your Cooper S has developed a rough idle, a hesitation under acceleration, or the check engine light has come on with a misfire code, a tired ignition coil is one of the most common causes on this engine, and replacing the full set rather than a single coil is the more reliable fix since the others are usually not far behind.

Why Replace All Four at Once

The R56's turbocharged four-cylinder runs all four coils through the same number of heat cycles and the same years of vibration, so if one has weakened enough to cause a misfire, the rest are generally close behind it in wear even if they haven't failed yet. Replacing only the one that's currently acting up tends to mean you're back in the engine bay again within a few months chasing the next one. A full set means every cylinder is firing on ignition components of the same age and condition, which also makes it easier to rule ignition coils out entirely if a misfire ever shows up again down the line.

What You're Getting

Each coil in this set is a 3-pin connector design rated for 14V, finished in black, and built with high-conductive copper wire and heat-resistant resin to hold up to the heat and vibration in the engine bay. Every unit is function- and performance-tested before it ships, built to meet or exceed OEM specification rather than just fitting the connector and hoping for the best.

MINI Fitment

This coil set fits the full R5x-generation MINI lineup that shares this engine family: MINI Hatchback (R56) 09.2006-11.2013, MINI Clubman (R55) 08.2007-06.2014, MINI Convertible (R57) 10.2007-06.2015, MINI Coupe (R58) 12.2010-05.2015, MINI Roadster (R59) 11.2011-04.2015, MINI Countryman (R60) 08.2010-10.2016, and MINI Paceman (R61) 03.2012-10.2016. Because MINI used the same turbocharged four-cylinder across several BMW-Group platforms during these years, this coil also crosses over to a wide range of BMW, ALPINA, Rolls-Royce, Citroën, DS, and Peugeot models that share the same engine architecture and OE coil design — if you're servicing one of those instead of a MINI, check your own vehicle's OE ignition coil part number against the list above and in the extended compatibility reference below before ordering.

Signs You Need New Coils

On the R56 specifically, a failing coil usually shows up first as a rough or uneven idle that you can feel through the seat, followed by hesitation or a flat spot when you accelerate. A misfire code (usually a cylinder-specific one) is the clearest signal, but plenty of Cooper S owners run for a while with a coil that's degrading without throwing a code at all, just losing a bit of smoothness and power that's easy to write off as "the car just needs a service." If it's been a while since these were last replaced and you're seeing any of that, it's worth checking before the misfire gets bad enough to affect the catalytic converter.

Installation

Ignition coils on the R56 sit right on top of the spark plugs under the engine cover, so this is a straightforward job with basic hand tools — no special equipment needed. Unclip the connector, remove the retaining bolt, pull the old coil straight up off the plug, and reverse the process with the new one. Doing all four at the same time, rather than swapping just the one that failed, is what makes this worth buying as a set instead of a single unit.

Fit Confidence and Support

Given how many models share this coil design, double-check the OE number on your current coil or your vehicle's parts catalog against the numbers listed above before ordering. Our FAQ page covers the fitment and installation questions we hear most often, and our warranty information page explains what's covered if a unit doesn't perform as expected. You're also welcome to reach out through our contact page or our request a part page if you want your specific model confirmed first.

Shipping and Order Tracking

Once your coils ship, you can follow the order from our track your order page, and our shipping information page has our current processing times. We ship worldwide to MINI and BMW owners well beyond just one region.

More Electrical Parts

This coil set is filed under our Electrical Parts collection, where we carry the other ignition, charging, and wiring components we stock. For background on how an ignition coil actually generates the spark that fires each cylinder, this overview of ignition coil design is a solid technical reference.

If your Cooper S is idling rough or throwing a misfire code, a fresh set of four coils built to OE spec is usually the fix, and it's cheap insurance against chasing one failing coil after another over the next year. Below is the extended list of BMW-Group vehicles that share this same coil design, in case you're sourcing this part for something other than a MINI.
