Has anyone done this replacement themselves yet. I am looking for a DIY on the N63 engine. I have searched but have not come up with anything yet.

I have seen something for the N62 but nothing for the N63

Here's the plug. ZR5TPP33. You need 8 of them lol. Also get the thin walled bmw spark plug socket. You will have to remove the airboxes but after that pretty easy. The coils unplug and pull straight up. Some people put a screw driver or extension in the coil's release to help pop them out. New plugs in snug em up 15ft lbs. No anti seize either.

SO was it as simple as removing the intakes and plastic shrouding? to get to the coils and spark plugs?

Thanks

Anyone recommendations for other spark plugs better than OEM ?

I went to rockauto and they show another kind of spark. Believe it was denso.

Denso of Nipon Denso (Japan) I would just stick to the OEM Bosch, you can find them for about 10 -12 each.

Yes pretty straight forward on this car.

Black I was considering going 1 step colder NGK's like I did with my N54 eventually but I haven't really looked into stock heat ranges and if it's a benefit or not with Stage 2.
