Can a e34 or e38 sump be removed with the engine still in the car?

Yes and No.
I removed an E34 sump at the local scrappy, had to get the car on its side and literally remove everything to get it away. If you do this, be sure to remove the dipstick tube first.
I would say in reality it's a no, but it can be done with a bit of old exhaust pipe for leverage and a hell of lot of patience....

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Thats what I was afraid of. One scrapyard here will lift the car up with a forklift and allow you to work underneath, just not sure if I want to go through the trouble. they have the e38 though.
