To replace the spark plugs on a BMW 5 Series, open the hood to access the components inside the engine bay. You will need to remove the plastic cover on top of the engine block to access the underlying components. Here, disconnect the wires connected to the coils, pulling the coils out of their housing.

Under the coils, you will find the spark plugs, which must be removed using a spark plug socket. After removal, you can install new replacement parts.
