    Go to www.resloem.com and enter the last 7 characters of your car’s VIN. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to steering. Click on the pump section and click on the part # for the pump. That’ll tell what other cars the pump will fit.

    Are you talking about the large banjo bolt that holds the hose from the reservoir? If so, you don't need a pump, you need a hose. Replace the hose, crush rings, and refill. It's not the pump. At least not in my 12 years of BMW experience.
