Best write up DIY I've seen so far! Thanks for the tips and part# on that rubber line. At least this V8 maintenance is not as complicated as it may seem for the first time owner who will almost faint when he opens hood first time and sees a huge plastic cover under the hood. With the exception of those unique hoses that cost arm and a leg.
This is probably one of the easiest spark plug replacements on German V8. Note to myself: considering turbos are so close judging from the pictures (I mean compared to N54 where you have to disassemble half or car to get to them), I'm wondering how hard it would be to swap them to some more powerful ones? |

Very detailed write up!!
What's your thought of using X5M plugs on stock N63tu engine? I don't think I will flash the car until August.

Oh snap. Didn't know what codes I was getting as I couldn't read German on the "BimmerLink" app but that's not good. You clearly needed the swap but maybe some of your coils went bad.
