Easy replacement: get a new one (can be bought separately from a rebuild kit), remove the four screws that hold the pump together and install the new diaphragm.

Problem solved.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I'm new to all this...What's it called?

Any recommendations for where to buy this part? Online?

EDIT--Is this it?

That looks like the right part. I'd rebuild the whole carb, kits not too expensive and baller908790 just posted a link to a pretty good "how to rebuild" a weber 32/36carb post in a UK Supra website: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,50/page,viewtopic/p,970742/sid,bb8f6ddf4946b286f5010bf5c8795e2f/

There are also a number of great posts on weber carb rebuilds, do a site search. I used cd sleeves as a FAQ member suggested to keep all the screws/jets/bits organized and it helped quite a bit putting it back together. Took about an hour. If it's pretty gunked up, you may want to let it soak in carb cleaner overnight.

    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
