I did the plugs and both filters, was a beast of a job, mainly because I ended up running around for some extra tools, also the plugs where tight as fcuk.

My take on it, do with the engine cold, use 1/2" 6point, deep reach (STANDARD) socket, taped to a extension with a breaker bar.

I also used a slight smear of engine oil, as I saw some threads saying that the anti-seize caused more problems.

BMW had fitted them with nothing and 4 of them where hard to remove, now whether it was due to over tightening I don't know.

Good learning curve,

also and don't ask... remove your belt when working on a car and use fender covers

like I said don't ask....... I now have another project remove 2 gouges out of the fender

OH, and I painted the cable tray, body color,, very low key, adds a nice touch I think

Nice video. Thanks!
