spark plug change experience

[hambone1983]

Just changed the spark plugs on my 06 4.4i this weekend.
With only 70K miles on the clock - the X drove fine before but whoa - after the plug change, its much peppier and flies now.

Plugs were obviously original NGK and were used up, no oil or any nasty material, just plain worn. Got new plugs from advanced auto - 6.99 a piece, same ngk model and part number, but no BMW logo saving me tons of cash. Straight up took me under an hour, back 2 boots right hand side were a PITA to get out thanks to the coolant hose, but managed it without an issue.

The most simple DIY i've ever done in any vehicle! Time to relax now. Money well spent. Also did not use any anti-sieze either, plugs went in easy.
