So far I've been able to get the oil cooler loose (2 screws -- one on each end). One bolt connects the two pipes as one unit to the cooler. It then is somewhat loose and can be wiggled out below the radiator, towards the front bumper. It helps taking the right brake duct off to give yourself some more wiggle room.

Oil cooler is $1100 from the dealer, pre BMW CCA discount. It's cheaper on line, but shipping will likely kill any savings as I need it by Friday morning.

Oh yeah, almost forgot the rant part. The Bentley is useless for the oil cooler removal. It's also useless for the bumper removal on the face-lifted X5's. I tried taking the front bumper off but that ran into issues too. Took all the visible bolts off, then got the ones under the bumper and behind the fog light trim rings. Still no joy...oh well, it appears I don't need to take it off other than for convenience of getting the new cooler in.
