    Active Autowerke sells the metal impeller pump for $79.99 and an aluminum thermostat housing for $39.99. Cheapest I've seen so far.

    I've heard that there isn't really any problems with the plastic thermostat housing, but the pump should definitely be replaced. The one in my '95 M3 was starting to crack when I replaced it at 39k miles and Oxcart1's pump blew apart at 94k in his '92 325i. Trust me, it's much easier to replace them when they're still in one piece!

    Actually www.ultimategarage.com is best

    Water pump is $50.00, thermostat housing (alum) with gasket is
    $35.00. Thermostat (88c, not 92c) with o-ring is $22.00. Steve

    Zygmunt has the best price on the water pump and thermostat. Better than ultimate garage. You will have to go elsewhere for the aluminum housing.
