Since it’s m54, personally I choose the oem for the water pump, never had an issue, I just replace it on normal maintenance schedules.
I’ve had issues with the cheap and expensive ones that have the metal impeller, the bearings wear out prematurely especially if you have a fan clutch. Not sure on the e53 if there is a fan clutch with the auto trans.
My wife likes the big cars, me, I like small sedans. I’m actually looking into getting a project car since my daily is basically done and nothing but maintenance left. I will admit that lower tailgate is just amazing. Also I cannot believe a 2006 car has soft close trunk…
