^^YES! I picked one up at Pep Girls last week, the magnetic socket is so much better than the rubber one - I threw out my old rubber spark plug socket lol

StephenVA is on a distinguished road
That back one nearest the firewall is the hardest but it is just a question of taking your time.
If you are planning a life of DIY on this and additional vehicles, may I suggest that it maybe a good time to think of investing in a great selection of automotive hand tools. These will provide a Rate of Return (ROI) that will measure 3x your investment in a few months. Most simple tools like sockets, combo wrenches (Open on one end box end on the other) will provide a positive return on one or two usage. See Sears Craftsman tool sets to get you started.
Buying a set will provide additional saving compared to "as needed tools" due to the fact they match and compliment each other.

Pay attention to needing 16MM sockets and wrenches as they typically are missing in most metric wrench and socket sets and our X5 tend to use them on everything.

Oh and buy that Bosch spark plug gaping tool they have also.
