As part of my cooling system refresh I decided to replace the water pump while the radiator was out of the car being re-cored. I found the part at Ireland Engineering which can ship and be recieved by mid next week. The impeller appears to be brass or grade 8 coated steel ( some yellowish metal) in the photo Other options are overseas and will need 2 weeks or more shipping. Anyone with experience with this part or can vouch for Ireland Engineering ?

Thanks
Dana

Steve - German made looks like a great WP appreciate the link. I did not mention that I need the early version of the pump with the non threaded non protruding shaft, my bad.

Pricey is a short sided term when it comes to something like a water pump. It’s at minimum a 2 hour job to replace one. More if you’re on the side of the road. I found the OEM BMW part to be the way to go. I learned the hard way on 2 2002s and on my own e9, twice. I strongly recommend the bmw part and to avoid aftermarket. This comes from personal experience.
