06 M3 Ignition Coil Replacement

I snuck out of work a lil early yesterday and of courseeeee my car decided to die on me … as I was getting on the fwy the car felt like it was running on 2 cylinders and SES light came on.
Got it towed to the dealership and the service manager told me the ignition coils need to be replaced and they’re asking $550 to replace them. He said two of the coils need to be replaced.
Of course this had to happen right after my warranty expired and since my car is 2006 it is not cover under the SB either

Sooooooo, I was wondering if anyone has a DIY for replacing the ignition coils. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks guys!
