Hello Bazo187
Oem always for that, I went aftermarket once with a fuel pump, it died amazingly just after the warranty period was up. I'm in Australia so can't help with where to buy, cheers.

The pump you will get from BMW is a complete assembly, but it is a simple job to fit a new pump to your existing frame. The actual pump is the same whether you have a 55 litre or 63 litre tank.

Sorted ordered an aftermarket full assembly to make it easier to change. Gona have a crack at it tomorrow.
Cost 80 quid for the new one OEM part was like 150 new and second hand ones looked worse then what I pulled out.
