Firstly why do you want to change them between TLC services which youve paid for already?
Gone are the days when you renewed spark plugs at the 5000 mile service regardless.
Are you doing lots of miles?
The spark plug replacement periods according the workshop manual for R56 MINIs

N12 engine 100000 miles
N14, N16 and N18, except JCW, 60000 miles
JCW 30000 miles

Unless you think they are giving you trouble, misfire, reduced performance etc you are probably doing it for nothing especially considering youve got to go and buy the tools to do it with too?
