BMW 320i
Hi all, got a call from my friend, into his cars etc, but can't change the spark plugs on a 320i (1999)
now, before i go over there and explain hes being silly, is there some trickery involved? never touched a bmw before but surely it is no differant?

Too busy watching telly
Not got the right tools
Scared of breaking it
Doesn't want to pay a garage
....these are the reasons my family and friends roll out when anything car related needs doing  
Not really looked that closely at Beemer engines myself, but it can't be difficult can it.

Coil packs
Also correct sized deep socket required.

Probably have to take the covers off and they are coil packs as above.
On my donor, the toolkit in the top of the boot came with a spark plug deep socket.

I had a similar call about a 1.6 Mk4 Golf - What a job! I made up a special tool in the end
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

lol yeah, my 328 was all full of plastic covers and stuff before you got to the engine. it has a coil on each cylinder so they have to be unbolted
first, and removed before you get to the spark plug
