Wanting to remove engine and transmission from my e60 to reseal gaskets and do some work on the transmission. Looks like I can just remove from bumper and crash bar and pull out the front. Has anyone done this? Thinking about doing this soon, it's not my main car so it's ok if it takes me some time. https://xender.vip/

We proceed by removing the exhaust, driveshaft, disconnecting the fuel, water, and electrical connections, and then lift the engine upwards. We leave the air conditioning compressor and power steering pump connected within the engine compartment circuit.
