I'm looking for 4 x m106 oil spray nozzles, but would pay for 6 if the price is right.
I make E23 parts.

Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.
LJ: Guessing they are NLA from BMW? Have a part number? Tried searching ebay? Sometimes weird stuff shows up there in odd lots.
Also, can try ebay.de with part number search. Most of the sellers speak at least some english, and I have scored a couple of odd items that way, if you can talk them into shipping. I also have a friend/contact in the military who is in Germany long term. He has shipped a few things to me over the years when the German seller would not. Have to pay for shipping twice, but if it is obscure enough, well.... you do what you gotta do. One other thought. I have often wondered why BMW didn't just drill a TINY hole for pistons squirters instead of that giant hole in each main bearing web and installing the squirters. I realize there would be no little ball and spring check valve like there is with the aluminum body squirters, but I don't know that it would make a huge difference. Also guessing the factory squirters spray a kind of mist pattern like a fuel injector. Again, don't know why that would be superior to a small stream. At 3000 rpm, that oil is flying all over the place anyway.
Just thinking out loud here.
Not sure how accurate the info is, but ran this down on realoem.com
Original number 11421730619
superceded by 11421730618
superceded by 11421272692
and finally superceded by 11421748199
I think my June of 83 car had the 11421730618 which are silver in color (I believe natural aluminum). The 619 appear to be gold anodized aluminum but otherwise identical.
Guy in Lithuania has two of the 619: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-BMW...BaD~wG&vxp=mtr
Found these (set of six used 11421748199) on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-x-BMW-Oil...IAAOSwSQFaLYfT
