I actually have my floor jack under the transmission pan as redundancy in supporting the vehicle. I never trust just one thing to keep the vehicle from crushing me!
That oil pan is a monster! I did my wife's E83 (w/N52) gasket a couple years ago. One difference I discovered on this one.... the danged dipstick (N52 doesn't have one). I just assumed the pan would slip off that dipstick tube, but NOOOOOOOO! I fought it for awhile and finally got the dipstick out and the oil pan pretty much fell to the ground!
