R56 Need input on plug wires...
Plug wires are going to be found in the same spot as the power steering fluid.
(There are none, as it is coil-on-plug). OEM plugs are good way to go. You need a special 12-point thin wall socket. I just replaced mine.

You can't replace the "wires" on this car. There are four separate coils for each cylinder. The main wire harness attaches to each coil with a levered connector on top of the valve cover. The stock plugs are good for supposedly 100K miles. I would just take a look at them and see if you really need them or not. A new set is going to run you around $60.
BTW, the R56 has an electrically assisted power steering rack. There is no power steering fluid.

I think that's what strobeyprobey was saying
