I tried to do mine, but i could not remove the last 2 coils, i gave up and put them all back....
i have a 06 530, with sport, i guess i have to take out the sway bar as well, cause its in the middle of the 2 in the rear, i must say it was a pain in the arse..... did u guys have a hard time removing the coils, i felt like my fingers were going to fall off pulling them off. is there a tool to pull of the coils, cause it hurt ;(

You need to "break the seal" on the coils by twisting them 180 degrees. They pull off pretty easy after that...

+1. Try twisting CW and CCW while pulling up on the ignition coil.
