Replacing damaged spark plugs on a BMW X3? Here’s how to do it. Open the engine compartment and lift the hood, securing it. Remove the engine soundproofing panel and take off the air filter. Disconnect the battery terminals. Use a screwdriver or pliers to remove the coils from the engine head; unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench and pull them out of the head.
