X6M coil change

Any help on how to change the plugs and coils on an X6M? Mine is due. Can't find anything for the X6M.

I'm going to do my own plug and coil change as well at 100,000 Km....including coolant and transmission drain and filter replacement....I'm a preventative maintenance hound....although my vehicle is running great...

There really isn't an interval for coils....when one fails...you have a choice of one or all.

But with plugs due at 100.000km (second set)....I'm going to do it...The old coils will be kept to use in either our X3 or E90...some people keep one handy for use if one fails....the ones coming out will be good for that.
