Hi all,

Not 100% sure if this question has been asked here in the past but I could not find it via the search function.

I’m rebuilding my engine and sourced some used M30 oil pumps in the past. They are actually not good enough to use because they have significant wear on the part of the pump that goes into the pan. See pictures.

One of the solutions is to weld the wear and then milling it back ‘to spec’. What would you guys do with this or any advice?

The company that rebuilds my engine also offered me to reproduce them, but that cost of course some development costs. Would there be any interest here, or maybe on the e24/28 forums for new pumps that some of you might be aware of? By BMW they are NLA.

Thx!

So actually no interest? Bit surprised actually, also based on what is for sale on the eBay’s of this world at the moment.
While I can image the respons based on the fact that this is not a regular maintenance part, unless you are rebuilding your engine.
I know that the rotor housing part is remade, but the other half not.
