Hi. This is my first post and I'm excited to join...wish I had found site sooner!

My 2009 750Li has both inlet and outlet lines of primary cooler cracked and leaking badly. I found the outlet pipe/hose; however, I can't find the inlet replacement part (# 17227589505). So far, every place my mechanic and I have tried (including BMW dealers) say the part is no longer available.

In my searching, it seems that the 2010 750Li has only one cooler that is the same as the 2009 but with different connecting lines designed for just one cooler. So, I'm thinking that if I can't find the replacement part for the leaking inlet pipe, I'll retrofit with the available and supposedly compatible 2010 inlet and outlet lines, thereby isolating/abandoning the secondary cooler.

Any help or suggestions much appreciated!
