The EGR cooler has a door in the middle, which was stuck partly open. The vacuum box could not pull it open and the spring could not close it. After disconnecting the vacuum box, I was unable to move it manually, not even with pliers. I replaced with new parts both the EGR cooler and the temperature sensor on it. That is the one with the short wires and the connector that you had so much trouble disconnecting. The EGR cooler comes with the vacuum box, mounting bracket, and one mounting bolt. The other mounting bolts are reusable per BMW. I'm glad I was able to contribute to your write-up in a small way.
