    Default The m30 oil cooler is gathering together.

    Funny, I am short 1 friggin' o ring. Went ahead & got the new oil cooler. The one that came with the cannister had the screw in fittings & was generally beat; it'd look ok in Jeff's car.

    Default A local e28 guy had the canister.

    I traded some spare parts to Walt for the canister. He got it for his e28 535; turns out there is an extra galley in the later e34's that is not present in the earlier m30b34 block.

    I ordered new lines, hardware & cooler from our good friends at BMA.

    Default Does it have blank M12x1.5 fittings on it

    possibly to install gauge senders? or are the fittings for the oil cooler send and return hoses?

    Default There are these 2 -6mm x 1(?) fittings with the black torx plugs.

    They end in the bottom of the reservoir for the filter. They look to be good access for pressure senders.

    Default hmmmmmm

    I don't believe any mainstream sender will fit that. Most are M10x1.0 and M12x1.5. Got a solution for that coming up soon.

    Default Item 10 look like something?

    Of course, mine aren't tapped for that fitting.

    Default Yeah I've gone over that with Rutkowski

    The ETK diagram gives us false hope. The oil filter housing on most later M30s does not look like that.
