Hi, I am so pissed at dealer! Have a 2006 4.4 and went to dealer for oil change. (CPO, first non "original warranty" visit). By the time I left I had paid $183 for the change (long story) and was told I need $2,500 of non CPO covered work! I do not want to start a bash the dealer thread, I understand that these cars are expensive but some of the stuff I 'needed' was/were just funny.
One of the things was spark plugs (54,000 miles). I am having trouble finding a dyi. Closest thing is the brief writeup in the "how to" and also this
Inspection II part I - Changing spark plugs DIY inside! - bimmerfest - BMW Forums
(I know this link is not for e53 v8).
Are there no write-ups on this as it is as simple as I think it is? Comparative to say brakes-rotors, which IMHO is middle of the road difficulty, where do plugs lie on the scale?
Caveat: I am a little gun-shy due to terrible experience changing plugs in a very old porsche 911. Very cramped and the socket AND plug fell into cavernous hole in cylinder etc. Very traumatic....
Thanks,
Joe
