Upgrade from the plastic impeller on the stock water pump to this aluminum impeller pump originally developed by BMW for the M3 GT4. This aluminum water pump was designed to stand up to the abuse of racing but can be used on a standard street car. Plastic impellers are earlier BMW's had a tendency to degrade over time and eventually break apart. While we have not seen this issue on the S65 engine as yet, why not get some piece of mind with this original BMW aluminum impeller water pump.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2006+ E90 BMW M3 - Sedan
2007+ E92 BMW M3 - Coupe
2007+ E93 BMW M3 - Convertible

The N54/N55's water pump is central to the car's cooling system as well as to the performance and fuel economy. BMW's engine efficiency design for these cars includes the water pump for balancing engine power output and efficiency and cooling responsibilities not only for the engine but also for the turbo(s) and transmission cooling. It's a very integral part of the engine. The N54/N55 engined cars already suffer from reduced cooling area because of the factory intercooler, tight space under the hood, and of course heat from the turbo(s). BMW addressed these challenges a number of ways, including a dynamic, 'smart' electric water pump with increased output compared to the N52. The cooling demands mean additional stress on the major cooling components, especially the water pump.

The N54/N55 water pump is electrically driven and varies output based on instructions from the engine computer. Under the best circumstances the pump drives only as much coolant as needed and will shut down or activate as load and performance demands change (combustion chamber temperatures are dynamically changed based on economy, normal, and performance demands). The pump can also run when the car is off to reduce heat soak in the engine and turbo(s). The water pump is now a factor in how much power and fuel economy your car is producing, making it all the more critical to replace during normal maintenance. If a fault or excessive temperature is reached, the dash cluster will display a yellow or red water temp icon depending on the severity of the condition. The car's electronics will begin shutting down various systems in the car to divert more resources to the cooling system. This can include reducing power output and activating 'limp mode'.

The best way to avoid problems and system failures? Preventative maintenance and overhaul of the cooling system, starting with the water pump (and thermostat).

This Original BMW water pump is the latest design version from BMW and replaces part number 11 51 7 563 659 (11517563659). It fits all cars with the N54 or N55 engine. Replacement of the aluminum mounting screws is required when changing the water pump (select from the options below). Proper bleeding procedures specific to the electric water pump should also be followed.

This packages covers the major components you would install along with a new water pump or thermostat. On the N54 cars (135i, 335i, 535i) the water pump and theremostat are mounted together. In fact, to get to the thermostat, BMW expects you to remove the water pump. This package covers the whole job. With the electric water pump now an integral part of the efficiency and performance of the engine, staying on top of its maintenance and replacement is the smart thing to do.

Our water pump/thermostat overhaul includes:

Original BMW electric water pump, p/n 11517588885 or 11517632426

aluminum mounting screws for water pump (set of 3), p/n 11510392553

The water pump on the N54 engine has more cooling responsibilities than ever before. Not only must it provide cooling for the engine, but it's also pumping fluid used to cool the turbocharger oil and automatic transmission oil. The good news is that the pump only works when, and only as much, as it needs to. The engine computer dictates how much fluid needs to be pumped through the system depending on the load. That means the system can actually stop the pump when warmer temperatures are needed. No longer is the pump spinning all the time from an engine-driven belt. The bad news is that it's now an electrical part, so a failure is usually immediate and with no warning. And if the electronics are at fault, there is no way to rebuild or repair it. Fortunately, the engine computer will force a shut down or reduce power if a problem occurs, preventing catastrophic engine damage.

How to avoid a water pump failure in the future? Replacing the water pump as part of a regular interval schedule will ensure you always have a functioning pump in place. Since this technology is relatively new for BMW, therefore the lifecycle of the pump isn't yet known, we have been recommending replacement every 80-100k miles. This package of OE/OEM parts covers everything with Original BMW coolant offered to finish off the job. A proper bleeding procedure must be followed with the new electric pump.
