Water pump

I am getting ready to replace my water pump on my '01 3.0 X5. There are several choices for water pump replacement: OEM and aftermarket Stewar1 water pump like this one:

I am wondering what everybody else here uses to replace your water pump. Thanks.

Justin.

I think they all generally go OEM. The newer OEM part replace the propeller, which was the problem in earlier OEM pumps.

believe it was prior to 2004, but do a search on this board and you will find the answer.

I have 147K miles on my X5 now but still have the original water pump (knock on wood ). Do you think I should replace the pump as a precaution measure since I plan to keep this X5 for probably a couple years more? Thanks

Do some searches, wouldn't be a bad idea.

i'd say go ahead and replace it now before something else happens. You can check out autohausaz.com. That is where most BMW owners shop for OEM and non-OEM parts.

Thanks much for your help, guys.

Bimmer 360: did you change your thermostat as a precaution measure or it actually went bad?

Justin.

my water pump went bad. The thermostat was still ok but I want new for both since they are together when installed.
