[E30] Ignition Coil Question



Hey folks, got a question ('85 325e).

I measure the resistances of my ignition coil last night (changing
plugs, distributor cap, and rotor), and did not come up with the
Bentley numbers, as listed below:

             Bentley     My reading
             -------     ----------
Primary      0.5 ohms     0.6 ohms
Secondary    5 Kohms      6 Kohms

Should I replace the coil?  Are these readings within accepted
tolerance (none listed in Bentley)?  Any thoughts, experiences?

TIA,
Norm
