I believe some cars had the cooler located somewhere else, but can't remember where. I could be wrong? But if you look at the picture with the bumper off, I don't have the black lines where the cooler connects to.

Ya that's just part of the E63 bumper design.

Great install and 63 bumper does look great. Save that front mesh, I know on some models they can cost close to 400 bucks to replace.

We did an H/E install on a 2006 e55, along with body parts and go fast parts last Saturday. The extra cooler was under the H/E (see pic). Is yours located on the radiator maybe?
