My local dealer..........and I picked up one of the Marc Parnes plug cover thingies, along with a very nicely machined aluminum front axle tool, off E-bay for $35 for both tolls, which I thought was a pretty good deal. Have not used either tool yet.

I like ordering online from Hammersley BMW in Lynchburg, VA. They have great prices, ship within a day, and if I have a few part needs queued up it ends up being worth it despite of the shipping charge.

I have the Parnes plug tool, and can say it works as he promises.
