    M60/M62 part interchability question

    Hey everyone. The Dumpster fire devolved a leak in a cap I used to block off one of the outputs on the Cooling System Accumulator that connects the heads together on the back of the motor and to the water pump. Im looking at replacing the 4 output one that came on the motor, for the E34, with this one that has 2 outputs from an 2001 X5:

    https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-bmw-parts/coolant-crossover-pipe/11531437493/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19434527030&gbraid=0A AAAAD-pFG7-scLFk9EhlekcJ9Uw-VcO-&gclid=CjwKCAjwvqjOBhAGEiwAngeQnfdAXiHHo22fCifi Mxm uPv-9dXoEItT3i-6yTtitB4AAa0i_VmtgThoC93kQAvD_BwE

    Then the plan is to use the proper T fitting hose to connect the reservoir to one of the 2 outputs for the heater core.

    Does anyone know if these will bolt to the M60? Or did something change with the M62? I cant find a strait answer.

    A quick search of a different crossover pipe shows it was used from 1993 to 2003, so they most likely kept the mounting the same between all M6X engines.

      Thank you.
      I didn't want to buy a new crossover pipe then find out that something had changed and I could not use it. If you don't mind me asking where did you find the info? Is this all for real oem? It just dawned on me I never checked that site.

        I first searched ECS for a E34 540i just to see what an M60 crossover looks like and noticed it also fits M62 cars, then I put the part number into RealOEM.
