Mine is making a noise so I guess it's on it's way out. Anybody know where to get one and prices I should be paying. Any brands to go for etc.
cheers

C3 BMW?
Euro car parts?
Dealer section on here?

ALWAYS go for the OEM quality or better, never the cheap aftermarket rubbish

When replacing the waterpump is it worth replacing anything else at the same time?

No idea on a M3 but on anything belt driven the cam belt and the tenisioner should be done. The tensioner is every second change I believe but for the sake of a few pounds its worth doing.

Whilst your at it the drives belts may as well be done to.

You sound like an expert mate....

Changing the waterpump on M10/S14 is easy. Not like the M20 at all. I have an original BMW Spare but I'm in the US. You'd be better off sourcing one locally.

Only other thing worth changing is the v-belt...

However, you may need to change/repair the alternator adjuster bracket as they usually crack on an M3.

Really easy job on the S14 so long as the mounting bolts aren't rusted...
