You got ripped off. I just bought the two hoses and ordered an oil cooler from the local dealer for a total of $221.00. It was for the 1983 240D. The cooler is apparently "odd" in that both connections are at the bottom of the cooler. I thought that was normal, as I don't recall ever seeing them in any other arrangement. Jim
