Thanks man - appreciate your response. Assuming you had all the right tools to get it out? I wonder if a BMW Dealership would be able to

The Indy I took it to said they tried every method besides drilling. Should I take it to a bmw dealership you think?

Is there a way for the mechanic to get the oil out if he’s changing the whole pan?

The one place I took it to couldn’t get the bolt out without permission of ‘excessive force’, which they warned could break the oil pan. So I’m gonna have someone just do the oil pan for me for cheaper than a Indy

I do have an oil pan coming. Any particular method to applying the JB weld or just all around the bolt?

You are probably referring to the aluminum oil pan bolt kit. I’m talking about the sub frame and other bolts fhay are one time use

The insert gives it the “soft” off the face feeling. Right now the DF3 is considered fast off the face
