Jim Gerock re:oil pump


2002haus

Recommended Posts

Made a couple of calls to check.

The parts are still available for the pump.

With the supply not available any time soon the best course is

to rebuild it. Order the housing, inner, outer rotor, shim/spacer,

piston and spring.

If the old style (3 m6 bolt gear) is being used as the core then also

order the pick-up tube, washer and lock ring.

The parts are less expensive than a new unit as the price is going up

when inventory is back.

Clean and have fun.

Does this mean that the later (E21, E30) pumps are gone, too?

For a while, that was a cheap way to get an oil pump-

just swap your 2002 pickup onto a later pump...

too bad- one of the things I really liked about the 2002

was that the parts were all available, and none of them separately

(except maybe pistons)

cost more than a smallblock Chebby....

Is it that M10 oil pumps are no longer available? Or just that they're ridiculously expensive? I checked the Autohaus Arizona site--no pumps listed for the E21 or E30 M10, and the 2002 pump is $498! Dang--that's as much as a piston set costs. I paid $75 for an E21 pump about six years ago and just swapped pickups with my old pump.

At least the parts are available...and BTW, can one measure the gear backlash and other critical dimesions on an old pump to determine what needs to be replaced? My old pump was putting out plenty of pressure at 204k miles, I just changed it as part of a general rebuild due to the mileage and price for a new pump.

cheers

Yeah, considering that dry- sumping isn't 4x of that, it's highway robbery.

Wouldn't be surprised if the source is still Febi- whose pumps were $150

in 2009.

There is no stock in any of the USA warehouses or in Germany.

The part # is still good - just no inventory to go with it.

Jim if you start with a better core to rebuild you should be OK.

Rob is right, rebuild is the only way to go right now.

BMW Classic says that new pumps will be available in Germany about 3-4 weeks from now. Febi is out of the game, M10 pumps are officially end-of-lined (I even asked them, "pretty please?", but they cited very low sales numbers, to the tune of 210 units last year). Meyle will have some E21 pumps in the US pretty soon.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
