Hi, my 2002 2.2i has its fuel pump failing.
my garage has tried Bosch no luck.
have contacted BMW waiting for reply as their systems down. But estimate £450 which I presume will be the whole unit.
does anyone have a suggested supplier maybe the pump only.
many thanks

You can always go with the standard aftermarket replacement. They are not hard to replace and you just need to splice the wires in.

I wish I'd seen this when I needed a fuel pump. It would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Fuel pumps are pretty generic as long as you have a flow rate hight enough. The one I attached is larger then stock and would work fine. Not sure of the exact stock figures but its around 120lhr or so. Ti Automotive took over Walbro so made pumps forever.

My turbo car needs a much pump with larger capacity as it runs about twice the fuel pressure with an eye watering flow rate. The physical size is simular just a bit taller. I just had to modify the stock fuel hanger to acept it. The sock filter and everything is in the original location.
