How to Remove Spark Plugs on a BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Spark plugs

Do you want to remove the spark plugs on a BMW 3 Series? Pull the hood release lever and lift the hood, securing it. The coils are located under the plastic soundproofing panel covering the engine. Remove the panel using a socket wrench and take it off. Disconnect the coils by hand, then use your socket wrench to unscrew the spark plugs until they come out of the cylinder head. Take the new spark plugs and insert them into the cylinder head (use an extension if needed), connect the corresponding power connectors, and reinstall the soundproofing panel.
