Ok, then I assume spark plug replacmenet is much different? Friend at work got quoted for $450 from dealer, and I told him on my e53 it's an easy job. I just don't know about the e70.

it is somehow similar procedure, i did it on my e70 a couple of months ago and it had take about 2 hours, you should be able to do it if you've done it on a e53.
