In this video tutorial, you will see the necessary steps to remove and replace the engine glow plugs on the BMW 5 Series F10, specifically the 530d with the N57 engine. First, open the hood of your car and remove the plastic protective cover; then remove the upper air intake duct along with the air filter box by detaching all the clips and unscrewing the screws.

At this point, disconnect the four wires from the glow plugs and use a socket wrench with an extension to unscrew and remove them; all that’s left is to replace them with new ones!
