just have regular socket extensions available, nothing special. You may want to use a torque wrench when you install the new plugs. Also, in case you planned on using it - dont apply anti seize to the threads unless you use the copper stuff.

Thanks for clarifying that! As for the socket extension and torque wrench, are there any specific sizes I should be looking at? Whats the anti-seize for? Sorry I don't really know much about tools and stuff.. This is going to be the first time ever that I will be working on an engine of a car, so just want to be as prepped as much as I can.

I ordered some bosch plugs from ebay also with part # ZGR6STE2. Are these not the oem plugs? Are they different from OEM?

Those are the same as OEM but without the BMW stamp on it.

That's good to know, I was getting ready to start kicking myself for cheaping out and trying to save a few bucks....

You are good to go.

I bought the same plugs which cured my misfire issues that I had.
