318i has an upper and lower sump. If it's just the lower sump, it's just a matter of undoing all the bolts.
Check that the oil pick up pipe hasn't been damaged, and check that the bolts for the upper sump that are inside the sump and accessed with the lower sump removed, are still present and are tight. These bolts have a habit of unscrewing themselves, and are often found lying in the bottom of the lower sump.
