I was wondering if anyone could give me a step by step for replacing the oil pan on my 1985 325e. Thank you.

I can assist you in the removal and replacement of the oil pan. First, drain the oil out of the engine. You will either need to hold the engine from above and then drop out the front sub frame, or lift the engine up off its mounts to gain access to the pan. Remove the oil pan bolts and you might have to rotate the crankshaft to clear the rear throws of the crankshaft. Clean the gasket sealing surface, install the pan and torque the bolts to 100 inch pounds.
