There are loads of no name water pumps on ebay for cheap! If it was easy to replace the wp, I’d do that.

Brings up a thought... observation?...musing?
Are there REALLY loads of different no-name water pumps?
Or is it that there are 4 or 5 brands:
1. OE (BMW branded but made by the OEM)
2. OEM
3. A well known BMW vendor that makes a pump but isnt the OEM for this part (Dont know who this is, pierburg?)
4. One cheap no-name (asian?) brand that is sold widely under various names...ebay... etc
The #4 thing makes it seem like there are MANY versions...
but I just wonder if there is enough of a market for this part for multiple companies to make custom molds, custom tools, etc,etc.
Dunno, just wondering
