Hi Tony
Really? to be honest, this is a very time consuming thing, it will take a professional 2 1/4 hours to change the spark plugs on your vehicle, so if you have not a clue how to then you are going to be looking at at least 4 hours+ to do it, you will have to remove the intake manifold and also all its associated equipment attached to it as well and you will probably need a hand to lift it all out and put it back in, there is no easy way to do it, i would rather spend the money on a pro to get his hands cut up also after you change them there is that chance that you will need to re-seal the manifold and might get a light on your dash that will have to be re-set by the dealer anyway, so...not to put you off, good luck with that.

HI there hear is step by step on how to replace spark plugs this is on bmw 740 put its the same thin
First, remove the main shroud and then using a screw driver the two flat
square covers that will reveal the bolts that hold the plastic head
covers:
Unscrew the two bolts and then remove the plastic cover. You will see this:
Next, remove the two bolts that hold in the coil that sits over the spark plug (geez, this really is this easy):
Unplug the coil by moving the metal clip that holds the plug in up all
the way and then pulling out the plug. Here is a picture of the removed
coil:
And a picture of all the removed coils from one side and the cover:
Here is a picture of the head with the coils removed. Note the pooling
of oil especially to the right at the plug closest to the firewall.
Must have some head gasket failure action going on here:
Here is a look at the coil from the spark plug side -- just a spring
that pushes on the plug -- just slides over it easy as pie. NO
connecting -- Geez this is too easy:
Picture of the head with 1 spark plug removed:
Picture of the removed plug. Not to bad -- some white sut. Note the
oil in the threads -- this happened when I removed the plug and the
pooled oil hit the threads:
These are the plugs I went with -- Bosch Platnum +4, part #4417. I got
them from Autozone. They have something like a 3 Trillion mile warranty
or something. They were $5.99 per -- came to $48.00 for the set. I
ain't nevah spent much more than $1.29 for a plug so this was something
new for me:
Some looks at the plug:
Put the new plugs in (with proper anti-seize on the threads) and then
slide the coil down over the plug, plug in the plug to the coil and then
bolt down the coil. Plug #1 done:
Do all 8 and you are done! Boo yaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Now -- Funny shot. What's wrong with this picture:

Hi, What series engine is your vehicle equiped with? It will start with an M? The plugs are hidden under a cover, and it depends on the series.
