BMW coolant hoses usually have the part number printed on them.

You might get a better response to this if it's moved to the M30 section in the "engine swaps" forum.

A quick look at that forum suggests that you might have an E28 engine, rather than the preferred E34 motor, as it appears that only the E28 head has the outlet elbow on the back of the head that your hose is connected to.
Do you want your post moved?

If you havent sorted this yet im guessing an M20 pipe would work.
