i bought a pump on ebay ... then took the mounting bracket off of my old pump and put it on the new one so it would fit properly - (remove the 4 screws off of the base).
if you look at the drawing, you can see the different mounting bracket. a new one from BMW is 100 bucks from getbmwparts.com 61671359116 - MSRP is 125 bucks. so spending 50 bucks and swapping the bracket is a great idea
the Siemens / VDO pump is a direct fit. i would be happy to check the part number on mine if it of interest to anyone to make sure they get the right one.
here is a picture of the pump that i bought with the part number on it ... so you can verify and buy the right one. as you can see, the bracket fit right on it. i checked the part number that was on the ebay link - it is the same as this one 928 628 074 01 (this is a porsche 928 part number) ... the other part number is a BMW number 61661358328 and that is for a 2002, e3 and e12. the only difference in the unit and the e9 unit is the bracket
Are you positive the pump is broken. If you take the geaxbox off you can test the motor and gears. My motor was fine but the gears had corroded stuck. Cleaned & oiled, works fine now but since it is never used and is always in contact with the fluid will likely need it again at some point.
that's what we do ... we share what we have found to work ... out of necessity. the metal color difference of the back plate bothered me, being more silver than gold ... until i realized that you can't easily see it without taking the reservoir off.
