Replacement of the spark plugs of the BMW 5 Series 550i

Model: BMW Serie 5 F11, F10 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Spark plugs

Today's step-by-step instructions will show us how to disassemble and replace the spark plugs and ignition coils of the BMW 5 Series 550i, with a V8 gasoline engine. First, we open the hood of the car and start to disassemble and remove the air intake ducts and the plastic engine cover; then we disconnect all the coils and unscrew the screws at the base, as shown in the video. At this point, we use a socket wrench with an extension to unscrew all the spark plugs, replacing them with new original ones; we screw in the new spark plugs by hand and then tighten them with a wrench.
