Why not? It’s probably a little more cash than I would like to tie up in a ‘someday’ part right now (or more accurately, more money than my wife would like to tie up right now ?). 

 

It it would be a nice warm feeling to have one on the shelf, warding off the risk of ever actually needing it!

Since oil pumps are very well lubricated, they don't wear very fast, so before plunking down lots of $$ or EE's for a new one, use the factory manual specs to check all the clearances between the two gears, and between the gears and outer housing;  If they're within specs you're good to go.  A good cleaning and it's ready for another couple hundred thousand miles.  

 

At 204k, my '73's pump showed no wear on the gears--I installed a new one simply because I had picked up a new 320i pump on sale...for $75 so figured I might as well use it.  (this was in 2004).  And my '69's oil pump still provides 60 psi at full chat after 226k miles...

When I rebuilt my motor last year, I bought a new e21 pump from IE and used my original pickup. Saved about half of a new m10 pump. I think my old pump was still good but since I was there figured I might as well replace it.

I would add that IF the chain was not shimmed correctly, e.g. too tight then the aluminum surface of each side of the housing in which the rotor fits can wear as there is no bushing and there is steel to aluminum contact. Similarly, the housing surface that holds the "lobed ring" can also wear, which is checked by either direct measurement or with a feeler gauge between the lobe and the ring as Mike says.

 

Seen this on S14 pumps as well.......Of course some shims are NLA.

    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
