    E46 M3 P/S line question

    Hey kids. Whats everybody using for p/s cooler lines for an E46 M3? CTS-V pump, doing the pressure line with AN, rack to cooler line is stock, but cooler to pump is a big ??? The stock line sort of fits, but not really and it's right in the way of where we're going to run the intake piping. Is the quick connector a 'standard' part I could buy off the shelf somewhere? Does anybody know if the same connector with a longer hose is used on another car maybe?

    There’s no line from cooler to pump. The cooler is between the rack and reservoir.

    I meant cooler to reservoir, sorry. I just used 'pump' because the reservoirs attached to the pump. My bad.

    The cooler lines aren’t pressurized, a clamp on a barb fitting is all it needs.

    The stock connector on the cooler is called a “bundy” connection, btw. It’s the same type used on most fuel systems as well.
