Nice find. I have two questions:

1. Can you please confirm that the M6 oil cooler is part number 17 22 2 282 499 - which fits E60 M5, E61N M5, E63 M6 and E64 M6?

2. What about oil cooler lines? Do the original Z4M fit the M6 oil cooler without mods, or custom made lines are needed?
That's the cooler , the kit I purchased came with AN fittings with braided lines and the brackets pre made .the stock connections would working they wherein the correct place , but of course the Z4M piping and the M5/6 is in a very different path.
