Me and a mate just took an engine and box out of a 320 in about 3 hours today with lots of tea breaks. It's fairly straight forward. We had a jack under the gearbox as it was coming out and gradually lowered it the further the engine came out. We just hooked the crane to the front engine lift point with the car on axle stands at the front. I'm sure some people on here will tell you exactly the best way though. Don't forget the clutch or all the hoses. Have fun

plan it out beforehand and you will get it done quicker
Make sure 'everything' is disconnected
some say to lift the back because of the angle the engine will come out at.
not necessary but a load leveler is a good idea.
