the d15 crank has a shorter stroke than the d16 by about 5mm

while i dont know of any physical will-not-fit restrictions, i would avoid doing so simply because the shorter stroke will make your tdc piston to deck height heigh huge, lowering your compression by a bunch. stock z6 compression is 9.2:1 iirc, the d15 crank will lower it to almost 7flat:1
