i also use silicone lube but that doenst really work. I feel Andre's frustration. I've had them on and off quite frequently (6 months or so) and with silicone lube but that doesnt really work. The silicone lube does make them go on real easy but after 6 months its mostly same old same old.
The cooling hoses can be a pain (I use penetrating oil before attempting) but getting the coolant reservoir off the radiator is a REAL pain.
But hoses on barbs also can get stuck. but then at least you can get a hook under there and rotate around the barb loosening it.
I think a 100% conversion will be difficult though (because of the room aquired)
I've never seen an adapter from the bmw system to a barb or so.
