add to Kai's comment, get a short socket wrench. That will help you as well.

I've found a placing u-joint attachment on the socket can help reach some of the plugs. I do mine from above. Once you figure out which extensions to use where, it isn't too bad, as long as you don't have pop-eye forearms.

Definately easiest from the bottom of the car. I like to use a stubby wratchet with a swivel head.

It isn't a bad job either way, but if you've got a jack and stands, I think it's easiest from below. Just use some anti-seize if you ever want to change them again.

i used to think it would be hard as hell to change plugs on the 7. but seriously, once u get under the car you will see exactly where everything goes.

just wondering, did you try a search on this? This is probably the most common question on this forum. Let me give you some advice, if you want to learn and not get guerilla flamed all the time, do a search before you post. Search the archives, if you still can't find what your looking for, then post. Newbies need to read the FAQ and then proceed to search(don't be lazy), then proceed to ask. Thanx.

and you can get them for good price at sparkplugs.com, buy few sets and change them pretty often, not like you'd do on a honda or toyota!

BTW, welcome to the board and enjoy your car...

You will need to buy some tools if you already don't have any but the most important one is the SEARCH tool in this forum...
