Not sure about the Plasma Direct and Ground.

Plasma Direct
A revolution in ignition technology!!
The Plasma Direct is the ignition coil with a high power amplifier built in to it.
The Plasma Directs produce 4 times more spark energy than stock coils and also generate an ultra fast multi spark discharge of 10 sparks up to highest RPM.
The spark amperage is increased 100%, allowing the spark to reach many more molecules and therefore accelerate the ignition and combustion process. This is extremely important in forced induction applications but also improves the performance of normally aspirated engines.

The Plasma Direct will increase horsepower and torque throughout the entire rpm range. This upgrade will also reduce fuel consumption. Even the engines with a legendary smoothness will be further refined with the Plasma Direct upgrade. Plasma Directs are OBD II compliant and C.A.R.B. approved, **EACH UNIT WILL COME WITH C.A.R.B. APPROVED NUMBER**

Installation is easy. Direct bolt-in to the engine, no splicing or cutting into stock wiring, simply replace the stock coils with Plasma Direct Coils and ready to go!

Plasma Ground
The Plasma Ground is connected at the ground side of the ignition coil and increases performance and engine efficiency by creating an ultra fast alternating current at the secondary spark discharge, this is called Coil Ground Tuning.
Plasma Ground works perfectly together with all other Okada Projects Plasma Ignition parts and increases secondary spark discharge current.
Increase in secondary current is extremely important, since it creates a faster burn for high performance engines. The Plasma Ground is engineered to increase spark effectiveness on BMW engines, and is 100-percent compatible with any late model OBD and engine control units.
Oh you are talking about version 2... if budget is not the issue, I also think PlasmaDirect v2 is worth a try but PlasmaGround is not worth it buddy, especially I don't recall reading there is ever a new version...

BTW I tried Okada PlasmaDirect v1 on my old e60, loved it, and then tried the combination of SplitFire D Spark Max / SplitFire SuperShot BT (PlasmaGround equal) / SplitFire Super Direct Ignition System, loved it more, then sold the Okada, now after I sold my e60, the SplitFire set is in my e93 for my wife

Also have you mod your exhausts? Okada does it's job best when the exhausts are better, it's a must to go with the spark enhanced coils!

A bro got the same from ebay (see below link) costed him $8800 and $2800. And he has to self install. So I guess that's pretty fair.

that sound about right

Nooooo, I wanna keep seeing your space shuttle!!
