E90 N55 to S55 oil pan conversion

Hi,

I am trying to fit the S55 oil pan into the E90.
I was ready for somehow attaching the power steering servo into the oil pan, but there isn't room for the servo because the oil pan is sticking out about 1-2cm more in front.

Has anyone done the conversion to S55 on the E90? If so, how did you solve it?
If no, has anyone attempted to weld a aluminum? I know that some people weld in the baffle, could the oil pan be modified by welding in a patch from N55 oil pan to allow more clearance?

Is perhaps putting a spacer to all the other parts on the belt a solution?

I don't know whether making an extension and placing the servo on a different location and compensating that by custom belt, would even work.

I know some people here have done some crazy things so I must ask here.

Thank you in advance!
