: : Just pulled waterpump on my 92 525i 90k miles after she started overheating. What a piece of ****!!! It was still attached but had cracks all over it and it was not attached to the shaft. It just spun around it. Now I have to wait a day before the new pump comes in. But I guess it could have been worse.

: hey at least the replacement will be a metal impellor. while you are in there, change the thermostat and if the housing is plastic, change that too. its a few more bucks, but well worth the investment
