You can remove the front driveshaft to make the whole piece slightly lighter.
Also, confirm if the oil pan gasket is covered under sulev warranty. I've seen mixed results for people when I was briefly entertaining a SULEV e90.

Yeah I've had three separate mechanics say it's definitely not worth the cost of the job since most of the parts are rusted and need to be cut off. And I'm just not that handy under the car to try to do it myself. New iX coming in a couple months so it won't be my problem anymore.
It did get looked at by my dealership but they said it wasn't covered the SULEV warranty, unfortunately. The valve cover gasket was covered last year, and I think that did get me an extra year with this girl...
