Hey guys

I have a 97 318is and I am in the process of taking the oil pan off. Is there any tricks or an easiest way to do this?? I have done as much as i can to this point but i have come to the realization that the motor has to come up or the rack and cross frame has to come down??

Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Engine + Driveline / Oil Pan removal....easiest way???

Hey guys... newbie here... I just bought a 97 318is.  I have an electrical draw and a cracked oil pan.  I have not even seen this car run yet and cannot diagnose my electrical problem untill i can keep some oil in it.

I have taken a look at the oil pan and have come to realize that the motor is going to have to come up or the subframe and Rack is going to have to come down.

I am asking for any tips or advice that would make this easier. Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

Thanks guys
