http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exec/p ... +1991-1999. Does this look good to you guys? Its not a Stewart pump but its still the metal impeller.

I suppose I will

The metal impeller is good, and the metal housing is a must.

I have the Metal Impeller version, but after doing this and the thought that i could have up to 20% more flow with the Stewart i wish i would have waited and purchased the Stewart. I guess the thought of tearing this one out makes me say "Shit"...

So I should just go with the Stewart one instead

i would save my self all the thinking of what if, and have the piece of mind, As they Say and i like to follow: "Do it Once Do it Right"

Okay, guess I'm going with the Stewart pump. What do you think about mishimoto radiators?

I like them. There was a guy selling them on ebay for around $120 when i got mine.

OK I'm doing a full cooling over haul so I'm getting the Stewart pump, 88 thermostat, hoses/gaskets, and the mishimoto radiator

You won't regret that. I sleep better at night knowing I have a Stewart pump and aluminum radiator under the hood.

For sure... I'll probably update this post with pics and stuff once I get everything in and done. Don't have the money yet and I am currently in Japan for the next week and a half but when I get back I'll start. Probably end of november this will be finished

Im going to have to break away from the consensus here, but there isnt an advantage to the Stewart pump if youre in a non boosted engine. The stock pump moves plenty of coolant, and its your radiator and the air moving through it that cool your engine, not the pump. I have the BMW branded composite pump, and have never heard of an overheating issue caused that wasnt due to a poorly maintained cooling system, including old parts that need to be replaced anyway regardless of what pump you have. i get the peace of mind factor, but you guys are putting too much emphasis on the water pump when its not a weak spot in the system as the thermostat housing, hoses, and radiator are. Does this pump have any better warranty then an OEM pump?

http://store.bimmerworld.com/stewart-co ... -p680.aspx this says lifetime warrenty for the Stewart pumps. That's what originally sold me on the mishimoto radiators. I don't know what the factory warrenty is for BMW pumps but I don't think its life time.
