My Ride: 2004 545 6 speed
In retrospect it's not that bad. I think cokeefe's post rates it a 3 on a 1-10 scale of difficulty. I was just so miffed at how difficult the plastic nut was on the battery cable cover. I also had to move the airbox to remove the #5 coil. Nobody else had to do that, so maybe I missed something. Either way, didn't add too much time.
Also note that I had it easy because my car has a late 2003 build date and doesn't have the special torx/12-sided socket bolts.
Shoot me a PM if you get stuck.

I changed the plugs except the passenger side. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS.. I gave up so I'm going to give it to my step dad who owns a mechanic shop and has the tools..
Thank god we don't have to do this often
