Part: Spark plugs

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. Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the engine head with the socket extension, tighten them, and connect the ignition coils to each spark plug. Reinstall the air filter and the engine soundproofing panel on the BMW.
