The AISIN WPT-190 I bought on Amazon for $142 was was legit OEM. AISIN box etc. Toyota was scratched off the unit as expected.
Pros: legit OEM, AISIN box
Part number: WPT-190
I would STRONGLY recommend you to buy ONLY a BMW stamped WP. I learned my lesson the hard way and want to help you avoid my mistakes. The main thing that fails in electric water pumps is the electronics, and the ones not stamped with a BMW logo often have these issues.
Pros: reliable, avoids electronics issues
AISIN WPT-190 is $143 on Amazon. Directly comparing it with one from bought from dealer. Aside from the box, they look identical with the same plastic wrap.
Pros: looks identical to dealer
Part number: WPT-190
The water pump is probably the one part on any car I wouldn't cheap out on. Just get an Aisin as the other commenter said.
Pros: Aisin is good
Cons: risk engine failure
I too chose pierburg from fcp. Questionable weather it\u2019s any better than oem. I appreciated the all aluminum housing of the pierburg as it provides one less failure point which is the possibility of the plastic cracking due to an over torqued hose clamp.
Pros: all aluminum housing, less failure point
Cons: questionable improvement over OEM
Vehicle:
BMW
I recently installed a Gates timing belt kit with pulleys and water pump in my 2001 Forester. Unfortunately, the water pump where it mates to the engine was not machined completely flat and had a very small leak. I ended up having my mechanic remove it and put a stock Subaru one in while he was working on my clutch.
Cons: not machined flat, small leak
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Bought it in October, had it exactly 1 week, and the water pump blew. The dealer replaced it for free
Cons: pump blew after 1 week
Vehicle:

Mileage: 78858 km

Vehicle:

I was topping up the coolant every month or so. Was advised I would need a new water pump, which I was expecting
Cons: coolant topping up, pump failure
