I have never personally encountered a radiator oil cooler that was not made of brass.
You may be right, but the Cooler in our 80 240D looks like the picture in this thread.

I do know the ends of the 123 and 126 are aluminum, or seem to be. The steel nut of the cooler line a lot of times strips the aluminum threads of the cooler because of the dissimilar type metals causing corrosion.

Now the center part could be brass.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
