Red face spark plug changing virgin

I am getting ready to do the spark plugs on my m119 w125 400e, which i have never done before. on any car. I am taking the opportunity of owning a 16 year old car to learn how to do a few things besides an oil change.

Any tips?

I know about getting the right plugs (non-resistor, right spec etc); i am getting the BOSCH f8dc4.

The wires look good and are in spec.

I guess i will borrow a torque wrench from autozone or perhaps my neighbor. or buy an inexpensive one.

I assume i put anti-seize on the threads and di-electric grease for the boots and go one plug at a time...but i also understand the anti seize affects the torque. any advice.

anything else i should know about?
