As long as you can turn wrenches and follow instructions, you can handle this by yourself. Lot of DIY videos and instructions online. Go dive right ahead and good luck.
BTW, $500 sounds about right from a dealer. But you can do it for $100 with DIY. |
I agree. You have to take the cover off and the hardest thing is taking the coils out. Moderately easy swap. Make sure you get bmw or Bosch plugs that are the same heat range. You will also need a thin walled socket. I can't recall the size but you will need it before starting.
