Default DIY 07 550i Spark plugs

Planning to replace the spark plugs in a 07 550i this weekend.
What is the best approach to remove the two plastic coil covers?
After removing the engine cover the coil covers are not secured by screws like the 540.

Thanks for your input, very helpful. I was not sure what was holding those trims down and didn't want to cause any damage.
