I believe i spoke with you over PM there is a place here in San Diego that you can get double ended -8 stainless fittings and like i stated in my DIY you cut one end off and Tig weld it to the oem plug after you drill it !!! The name of the store is Industrial Liquidators

^ Itll be to either a male -8 thread or a Hose end.. the other end doesnt matter since im going to cut it off an weld something else on there.

I called Industrial Liquidators and they said they dont have it in Stainless steel.

If you really want it I can order them in stainless for you. For something like an oil cooler fitting that is way on top of the motor that won't see dirt & rocks, your run of the mill plated steel connector will be fine. Just wire brush it off on the area you are going to weld to first and TIG away.

Just copy my setup on our AR Design custom built oil cooler but keep in mind that the 3 series hood slopes down more than the 135i hood.
