Sounds like you went to dealer. My water pump just died, and I bought a German made OE pump from ECS Tuning and with my indy shop fixing it, I should come in around $1000 Cdn all in, vs. $1500 at the dealer. I saved $300 on parts alone this way. If I had bought all the BMW brand parts from ECS even, I'd have still saved $400.
Make sure to replace your thermostat too, since you're in there, as the extra time involved to do it is negligible at that point, for a $100 part that can fail later.
