I put in brand new 6441 NGK plugs. I took out the old BMW/Bosch 2 prong plugs which are now at .048 gap. Maybe it is my delusion, but the X5 seemed much quieter this morning on cold start. I will report back in days to confirm. Also I did put my hands on the big solendoids on each side, they both make noise, used stethoscope. Are they hard to change out?

I also viewed some plugs on the rear on top of each valve cover-leaking a little.
