the bmw 320d is a diesel car therefore it does not have spark plugs as it uses pressure to ignite the fuel rather than a spark it does however have glow plugs which function to heat the engine internally when starting and will show up on the dashboard display as a spring like symbol if they need changing ie the light does not go out after the car starts rather it stays lit while driving then you need to change them

You need to remove the valve cover ((V8) motor) and remove the spark plug coils, then you can change the plugs.
where is the location of the spark plugs on a 97 BMW 318 ti.
I have diesel 86' 524td that I changed the glow plugs on. They run the length of the engine kind of like spark plugs. There are (is) probably six of them. They are smaller than spark plugs and have a wire on top of each one. Be carefull, the wire is held on by a small nut. Take that off first, then the glow plug. For the plug itself you'll need a deep socket like a spark plug socket only smaller. The ones in the front will be easier than the back because of wiring or accessories. Here's a tip from experience. Replace ALL of them at once. It will save you aggrevation in the long run from changing one or two now and later. Good luck. rich c.

I believe it crosses to a NGK BKR6EQUP: LASER PLATINUM PREMIUM Part#3199. If you're looking to change the plugs in an e46 3-Series BMW check this site out. It really helped me! < http:/www.linquist.net/motorsports/bmw/plugs >
Sorry I do not replace sparkplugs.Take your 1999 BMW to a garage, they will do it for you.
