got mine for a reasonable price from euro car parts.

they look different but i have not seen a problem with it. only had the car on the road for about 3 weeks though






i think you can tell the new one. not too expensive if i remember correctly?

[johnl320]

Thanks mate I'll give them a call

[ric325i]

no worries fella

here is a like to them

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecommerce/S ... esults.asp

think you could even get one for £16 from the looks of it? guess the VAT will take it to atleast £20

but dont for get the gasket like it did

[gareth]

technically, that's an inferior pump design and less efficient. in the real world, not sure that it'll make a big difference.

can u get the original pumps recon'd

[FormerMember]

No idea reconditioning the old one when new ones cost 40-60┚¬. If you want to be sure about the new pump, get original from BMW.

£108 exchanged from bmw for a genuine 1

[FormerMember]

Outch, that's quite a lot then.
I just replaced my waterpump. New one from dealer was ~50┚¬ and it looked like the original one and has worked fine so far.

[jaffro]

thats what i thought yet gsf you can get one for£25

[johnl320]

108 quid! That would double the value of the car I don't think I'll go for the 16 quid one though.

Cheers fellas

I recently had to do my E34 535i's one. Managed to get a genuine new one from E-bay for £21; the stealer wanted £130 and the old one back!

The 5-series forum members claim that the cheap ones from GSF/ECP don't last long.

[ric325i]

i would ask to see both! i did ask some questions about them as the internals are different.

i didnt go for the cheapest as i didnt get the option...non in stock
not that i would have actually gone for that one

i have had issues with my cooling system but i am learning how ait can get in teh system and fixing the problems.

nuts

[jaffro]

it would prob be best to try get mine reconditiond or at least get a price to see how it adds up

[Speedtouch]

I was thinking of lobbing my old one through my stealer's window Could be worth trying the Zone's parts dept.

the quote i got was off my best mate who also parts manager at bmw in stockport. thats wive £20 quid off already.

[Speedtouch]

Can't see why they're so expensive, there's not much to them!

[jaffro]

thats what i thought yet you can get a inferior 1 for £20-30 quid that may last as long
