How do you replace the spark plugs on the BMW X3?

Model: BMW X3 E83, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Spark plugs

In order to replace the spark plugs on the BMW X3, the hood must be opened to gain access to the engine compartment and the plastic cover from the upper part of the engine must also be removed. Here, on the left, it will be possible to remove the connectors connected to the coil and with a special key, remove all the spark plugs from inside their housings. Once all the spark plugs have been removed, it will be possible to replace them with new spare parts, which will need to be inserted into the housings. After replacement, you will be able to reconnect the connectors to the coil and install the plastic motor cover.
