Hi everyone, I would like some input from the people who have tackled this exact issue. I'm in the process of installing a VAC oil pan baffle for the E34 oil pan. The engine I have is the S52B32. My E34 oil pan has a built-in mini baffle and windage tray riveted on. I believe it's from a 93 E34? Not 100% on this.
Couple of questions for the wiser to verify so I don't go destroying things:
1. Do I drill out the rivet holding the oil pan baffle in place? Or do I try and pry it out?
2. Keep the E34 windage tray when installing the pan? I haven't removed the S52 oil pan yet to see what's under there. I'm assuming I need to remove the S52 windage tray once I open it up.
3. Suggestions on where to place the welds once installed?
Here are pictures for reference:

Do I drill this rivet out, or try and pry it out?
Comparison of baffles:
Just a noobie looking for confirmation
TIA
