Pierburg fuel pump doesn't fit, too large

[ymanchik]

Just bought the Pierburg fuel pump (7.02242.25.0) but it won't fit because the coolant hose is in the way and the fuel pump is a bit larger (sorry, forgot to take a picture). Which fuel pump do you guys update/upgrade to? This is for a 1971 2002. Thanks

You want the BMW- branded one.

I read through this post - 

 but I feel like they all look the same and I'm going to run into the same problem of the pump hitting the coolant hose and not fitting. Any suggestions or work arounds?

I feel like a nut.

 

But I would buy the BMW branded pump:

That is my suggestion.  No work- around needed.

I recently just bought one of these from Blunt. should be installing it soon. their doesn't appear to be any fitting issues and it's the same size/height as the one I am replacing. The box says BMW Group but the pump has a PM winged logo on it. Not familiar what that branding, but assume it's whoever is manufacturing them for BMW.
