Here is a video I made on how to change coil packs and applies to changing spark plugs also.

Couple of things that would make life simpler:
1. Remove the engine bay strut brace on that side of the engine. Takes less than a minute and means you can get a socket squarely onto that rear nut without the chance of rounding it off.
2. The smaller plastic engine cover sits over the top of the one you removed and the edges interlock. For the sake of another minute, remove that too, so you are not having to twist the main cover out from underneath it.

You should do a video on removing the injectors. I need to see someone physically pull the fuel rail and injectors out. All videos in existence make it look very easy. Those bad boys are wedged in there and I cannot for the life of me see how one can just pull them out.
depends on the engine but I use Delphi for the coil packs as that is the OE now. I use genuine BMW spark plugs as I know for a fact they are the right ones and will be gapped correctly.
