Wait a minute. Are you talking about your bimmer, as in the E46? If so your oil pan shouldnt be an issue because it is mounted about 1"1/2-2’ above a chassis reinforcement plate. If anything the plate might give them a hard time but i dont see how. ---

> [@JEG](#): > > eh could be worse. I took my car to sears auto behind the mall to get an alignment becuase it was the only place open by the time I got out of work.
