Hi all
I have a 1987 325i cab & now need a new water pump.
What make is the best?
Prises stare at £25 & go up to £60.
Any help would be great

Genuine, I had a non genuine one and it nearly killed my engine 18 months later, it's not worth the risk.

Never had a problem with a Circoli pump from ECP/CP4L.
'87 is a 'change over' year for the 325, with two possible versions of the pump required. The earlier version has an extra pipe stub on it.
