Well if my pump failed on a weekend or at night, my USED pump can be installed to get the X running again. AAA can get me home and I can probably remove and install a pump in 30 minutes, a little longer if it is cold outside.
The used pump is my contingency plan. If I don't use it I'll just eBay it and double or triple my investment. As you are well aware, with a 16 plus-year-old car, not every BMW owner can afford to buy new parts. I also have a spare alternator for my car as well that I picked up for 15 bucks at my local pick n pull. Looking for a heated steering wheel since steering wheels are only 10 bucks. There are pickers out there that just pick and sell parts on eBay.
I tested the USED pump once I got home and it is purring like a kitten and pumping gas like Old faithful.
