Can you drop the oil pan without pulling the motor?

[Jeffogto]

I believe that I have spun a bearing in my 07 M35x and wanted to know if I can pull my oil pan without pulling the motor? Any advice would be most welcome!

I believe so. Youll have to remove the engine bay plastic pan if you still have one. Also from what I remember, you would have to remove the suspension sway bar and the bushing mounts for the sway bar. I don't remember if anything else is in the way or not, its been a long time since I last looked at this.

I got the subframe all unbolted from the engine and frame but it seems to connect to the front bumper as well. Not sure what to do about that
