 The first recourse is the toolkit that came with your M3, as it has a 
 wrench that fits the plugs and the hole in which they are located.  I 
 just had the engine, however, without the rest of the car, and was faced 
 with this problem.  Checked with Steve at Ultimate Garage with no luck, 
 bought a special order SnapOn 18mm thinking it would be the ticket - no 
 luck.  >>

I experienced the same thing with my M635 that I just picked up.  There was no
spark plug tool in the trunk, and I couldn't find a socket to fit.  Bavarian
Auto special ordered the replacement for me, but it wasn't cheap.  After
looking at what I needed, I can see why I had such a tough time finding
something which would work.
