Remove four nots or screws depending on production date on top of the engine intake. After removing these the "BMW" covers that are over the valve covers need to come off, they pull straight up and are held on by rubber grommets. After removing these you will see the coils. Lift the lever up on each coil connector and lift up on the coil. The rear coils are hard to remove and hit the edges of engine compartment insulation and sometimes the fuel and a/c lines. Those can be pushed slightly out of the way to allow coil to be removed. This will give you access to the plugs.

The tire pressure monitors I have seen require you to drive a certain distance after correcting the low pressure condition.I believe it uses the wheel speed sensors to detect a tire with low pressure(then one that is low will be essentially be giving a different reading because it is rotating more times at a given speed).I am assuming the system IS sensitive enough to get a false reading if one of the tires is a mismatched size,so keep this in mind.
