Also, Turner Motorsport for $119. Pelican is the only one who says what manufacture the part is, choices of Saleri or Graf, both of whom are OEM suppliers for BMW. The Saleri has a composite impeller which supposedly is what the current BMW pump is, Graf is metal.
To me, the waterpump is and always will be a maintenance item, around 100k on the V8's and around 60k on the 3.0's. Having bought waterpumps from the dealer and from 3rd party, they all last around the same mileage. Also, keep in mind that it was the famous BMW plastic impellers on the M50/M52's that had the lovely habit of breaking apart and overheating engines. Genuine BMW doesn't always mean its the best. Just means its the most expensive.
