My PM doesn't seem to have been sent, it's sitting there in the Outbox. Any ideas anyone?

The reservoir is pretty straightforward for M54-engined Z4... there's a dedicated E46 bracket

The cooling loop is from any petrol or diesel E46 model partsnumber 17111436262.
The pump is LUK LF-20 from any 6-cylinder petrol E46 (320i/323i/325i/328i/330i) partsnumber 32416760036.
These pumps failed on a spectacular level, therefore most E46 will have been upgraded to LUK LF-30.
Both types are basically interchangeable - just make sure to get the corresponding hoses off the same parts car.

Mounting of the cooling loop is identical to step 4 in my thread:

============= Step 4 - installing cooling loop ===============
Remove front bumper. Provisionally install cooling loop, you'll need to cut away some plastic beside the radiator to route hoses.
Install hose from rack to cooling loop.
Provisionally install hose from cooling loop to reservoir.
Interestingly, the right-hand radiator support on all Z4 bodyshells stems from the E46 and already contains the mounting tab for the cooling loop, just much higher than required. Cut mounting tab loose, mount on cooling loop with ziptie and screw/glue in place in the correct location on radiator support.
Alternatively, the mounting tab could be left in the higher original location. This will require adjustments to length of hoses to cooling loop, additionally radiator hoses may be in the way.
For reference mounting tab for cooling loop:
