Looks like you can only buy a genuine BMW S50 water pump outright rather than exchange - I think the genuine part is made by BMW can anyone confirm this?

I thought the plastic impellars were generally found on the non-M 6 cylinders? Most of the replacements were metal when I was looking.
I went with a BEHR Hella for mine as my old one was grumbling and had play (but no leaks, and more importantly no stupid viscous fan swinging off the end of it to rapidly accelerate wear and cause mayhem). I started the job in August and it's still not done though...

I bough stainless bolts from Francis Kirk in Denton, can get them the right lengths - from memory there are 6 bolts, 3 longer and 3 shorter. One of my original bolts snapped with hardly any effort but luckily had a few mm protuding from the block/timing cover to unscrew it.
