many thanks, when the pump comes i will check these numbers again. im sure the pump is good for me or its going back on ebay

[whipsey]

i think the only difference that there will be is if you have two pipes coming from your pump one is for a chromie can't remember which one though

[danman2k]

i think your right about the two pipes, there is a difference now when i compare the pic to the oem in the above link. hmmm

[danman2k]

i am now thinking i have got the wrong pump after looking on google going by these pics. mine is on the left whe i enter my vin on oem and the wrong one i have bought is on the right, which engine would the pump on the right be for?.

[danman2k]

pumped lol, anyone know the answer pls to the above question?. many thanks

[E30BeemerLad]

one on the left is the earlier type for a pre-facelift car which has the expansion tank over on the driver side. The later ones only have the 1 outlet and the expansion tank is on the passenger side of the car. Hope that helps.

IIRC it was cars manufactured after Aug/Sept 1987 where the changeover happened

[danman2k]

many thanks, thats helps a great deal as i have bought the wrong one off ebay and now have to sell it on. now i know what to advertise it as. thanks again

oh, i am losing the plot here. on real oem it shows the left pump for mine, but my car is aug 88, so your saying that i have the correct pump on the right.
i must add that all the pics for cars on real oem show the left hand pump before and after aug 87. so i would think that you are correct and realoem has a glitch. err would you agree?. thanks

[Chris-W]

The pics on RealOEM / BMWFans / ETK can't be relied upon for accuracy - they're only an indication.

[danman2k]

thanks, im sure i have the right one now. although im not sure if its genuine bmw, it does have all metal parts though and for £15 i thought it was a bargain, although i hope i am not punished with a dud pump

[E30BeemerLad]

I did exactly the same when i changed the pump on my 325. My car was registered 1st Jan 1988, so when they asked for year of manufacture I said 1987, and I ended up with the wrong pump.

Old pump on the left, new (wrong pump) on the right, notice the extra outlet.



I've just looked on OEM and I think the parts diagrams may not be representative of what the actual part looks like as the diagram in the link below is for a 1990 325

Showing as part number 11519070759

Probably just aswell going to your local motorfactors and asking them to show you the part. If your car has the expansion tank on the passenger wing then you need the pump with only the 1 outlet.

many thanks, thats defo the advice i need. someone is changing this for me as well as cambelt etc etc. they wouldnt be pleased if i supplied the wrong parts .
it all makes sense now as real oem is not 100%. my tank is on passenger side too.

many thanks for all your help
