The information you need with a picture of each step of the job is at the web link below, it is a BMW owners forum, excellent article. The car is a 2002 model 525i but the engine is the same as well as the whole procedure of replacing plugs.

You are kidding correct? Not enough detail?? Tools needed, parts needed and dozens of pictures of the job in progress, what else do you need here?

First all, and after that take off the two caps on the engine
cover, use 10mm socket to take out those nuts or bollts.
Pull off the cover. You'll then see your ignition coils, unplug them by
raising the small clamp up and it pops the connector plugs out. pull and
twist slightly on the ignition coils (gripping from its base) and pull
out each ignition coil 1 at a time and you'll see your spark plugs..
keep in mind to either do 1 at a time or remember which ignition coil is
for which cylinder (note and draw this important info) or check in this link the right firing order.
Use ur spark plug socket, extension and breaker bar of torque wrench to
take out spark plugs, they may be tight and a lil hard to get. Make sure to check for any oil in the cylinder as it'll be a sign of the spark
plug seals on their way out and in need of replacing but then thats a
valve cover gasket job, after you get the plugs out replace them.
Now
some people recommend this and others dont but you have a choice of
adding some spark plug anti sieze compound to the threads and a ignition
boot anti sieze also. note some spark plugs already come with anti
sieze alread applied. also good to look for a spark plug you dont have
to gap. In our BMW forum could find this DIY with images and detailed tips to this job: DIY for an M54 spark plug replacement on a 2002 BMW 525i E39
Hope this helps and...noce job!!!
