I think I would replace the water pump

I guess that makes sense. Sort of sad, but probably right. I could even temporarily put the old pump back in. It seems fine, original BMW part from when the car was built in 2005, but it would keep me going. I would need new screws. REALOEM lists them as M6X16-U1-8.8, does anyone know what that means if I try to source them locally?
