Oh man, through the pan like a BMW? That sucks. I actually have the subframe off a 335xi right now. I hate that crap. What kind of car is it?
Personally, I’d run the engine for a few minutes to get the piece off the baffle, then drain the oil like you suggested.
If you end up tearing the whole thing apart, you use an engine support bar. They’re like $70 from Harbor Freight after 20% coupon and sales tax.
