I've gotten to the place in an 84325e resto where I'm ready to change the oil and have it inspected. However, the oil drain plug turns continuously in either direction. It will not loosen or tighten, but it cannot be pried out. Any ideas?

Does it leak? If not you can top side extract the oil to change it.
But eventually you'll want to pull the pan and fix the drain plug.

For some reason, E30's are famous for these oil drain / pan problems. Unfortunately, the only way is to indeed remove the oil pan and then either re-thread or replace it.
