my car has green fuel injectors i see your car has cream ones. i think your car is post updated right?

thanks in advance

Also, I think the 100K miles intervals is a little too long myself. I had mine changed at 57K miles, and it feels a lot crisper.
really depends on the dealer and what relationship you have with your service advisor. i know dealerships who would not touch my bimmers if i bring in the parts, yet others they'll do anything i want. my MB dealer is great as well, just haven't had much for them to do, unlike bmws lol

The Easiest $500.00 I made this Year
Just finished replacing my plugs (Bosch Plats) and plug wires (Magnacors).
The job was much easier that I had anticipated. Plugs came out easy, and really plenty of room around the motor to do the work.
Even with me taking my time, marking all of the old plugs as I pulled them out (to review them when I am done), only took 2 hours.
Thanks for the DIY with pictures takes any guess work out of the job

Yes, those are the correct plug wires. Be certain to match the plug wire you remove with the same length new plug wire. I believe there are 3 or 4 different length plug wires in the set. It is easier to keep track of which size wire fits which plug/cylinder, then to go back and trial fit after the fact.

Wrong forum mate. try the W124 one, our cars comes with different engine platform (M113) without rotors/caps/longwires. in this engine you need to replace wire by wire to don't lose the firing order (to make your job easy)

Good luck
