Water pump OEM BMW or Saleri
I got a saleri installation was very easy and it spun nice.
Pros: easy installation, spun nice
Vehicle:
BMW
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
I have a Saleri pump with a Victor reinz paper gasket. I did not realize during my replacement that oem isn’t paper as that’s what was already on there, and haven’t had a problem. Interested to know if they fail slowly or suddenly and if I have to add another preventative maintenance item to my list, but it’s been going strong for 30K miles.
Pros: no problems, going strong 30K miles
Mileage: 48280 km
I had Saleri in for 50k miles with no issues. Then, after a cooling refresh, I bought Saleri again, and it's been 20k miles with no issues so far.
Pros: no issues, long lifespan
Mileage: 50000 km
Same shit different box. Sometimes the aftermarket takes care of issues as well like bmw and older Audi/Vw plastic water pump impellers, where most aftermarket ones are metal.
Pros: aftermarket takes care of issues
Cons: plastic water pump impellers
Vehicle:
BMW
Mine was still going at 123k. I did have a shadow code (2E85) but that had been there for years. I decided to replace it out of caution and. Now have about 10k on the new one.
Cons: shadow code for years

Mileage: 10000 km
My water pump lasted 420,000km
Pros: extreme longevity

It’s still baffles me how BMW can’t get a quality water pump on its vehicles.
Pros: quality water pump
Cons: quality water pump

Yup that's how my Z3 once tried to kill me. Doing 90kph on the off ramp and the ol water pump decided to retire. In the process dousing my rear wheels in coolant.
Cons: rear wheels in coolant
