Anyone got a v8 545 or 645 or 745 Series needing collapsible coolant Pipe?

I have bought x2 Collapsible coolant transfer pipes for the V8 engine. This pipe is a retro part and saves labor time if your coolant pipe front seal fails. Tell tale signs are coolant loss and leak through weep hole on front upper timing cover near Waterpump. BMW charge around £5000k to fix ! due to labour time in the removal of the OEM pipe as the engine has to be pretty much dismantled completely!.

This retro pipe is only £150 and takes around 3 hrs to fit. I'm having my girlfriends 645 fitted with one this week, they are only available in the USA, i had 2 posted to the UK as i thought the first one got lost in the post but then it turned up.

So i have x1 for sale at £150 with postage. Theres loads of info on Utube and elsewhere on this failure and it apparently happens on EVERY V8 sooner or later.
