Default Thread repair for stripped drain plug (oilpan)

I have searched and searched..nothing that i found here.

My oil drain plug is stripped, and has been for months. It is so bad that i just have been topping off the oil as opposed to draining it and properly changing.

Well, that will be different this weekend. I located and bought a Heli-Coil kit to drill out and tap and install new threads in the oil pan. At a cost of $60 I bought a 12x1.50mm kit, comes complete with the drill bit, tap and 10 of the thread inserts. I obviously only need one insert, so once the job is finished if anyone else is having this problem, I'll sell the kit complete for a little less than I paid and and pay it forward.. we can get a whole lot of cars fixed..lol

I'll take lots of pics when I'm doing the job this weekend. This is WITHOUT removing the oil pan if at all possible, so I'll check clearances for the drill, tap..etc.
I'm also redoing the bushing and gasket under the oil filter housing, and possibly the gasket in between the front upper and lower timing cover.

This is on my 1995 318ti Active.
