M60 water pump question...

[camaroguy]

Anybody know who the OEM manfacturer for the M60 waterpump is? BMW wants like $280 for a reman part which is obsurd. I would like to buy the same one they put their name on like i do most other parts if possible.

Don't use the dealer unless it is a dealer only part.

Also, replace your thermostat housing to the aluminum one if you still have the plastic housing.
