X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Cool. Lots of parts to remove. Replacing seals and parts that come off.

Here is another video for anyone that wants to do the oil pan without a lift. The rack and pinion is a choice. Hang off the engine or leave it bolted to the subframe. My choice is to disconnected hoses over rack bolts. The subframe will be heavier but I have help and a transmission jack.

Video by 50's kid (I think he's a member here but not sure.) The video is great on providing bolt sizes. E12 for steering shaft connection. E18 for subframe bolts. 16mm for motor mounts bolts.

After watching Part II, keeping the rack bolted to the subframe is best. If the rack is remove/tied up, motor mount alignment may be a hassle while moving the subframe back into place. .
