Aux water pump??? I replaced my water pump at 85k miles... cost me about $150 and I had a friend (BMW Tech help me). Not sure what the going stealership rate is but if I had to guess I would say $400-500...

changed my water pump awhile ago but as for aux water pump, not sure where that is located. You can search this forum DIY section for more help. Took me more than half a day and with the help of turboawd via emails but it turned out great. BTW, mine was a v8 so it was a bit tight in the engine compartment.

I have done it myself 2 weeks ago. Dealer wanted $803.02 
nice calculation by the way. I have paid $160 for the pump and it took me about two hours. I had taken engine bay bottom cover off because it was easier to remove electric plug from the bottom. It comes with a "holder" but I have ended up not removing the old one and just slid the new pupm in old mount. Pump is located under air box that I have removed U just need to remove two coolant hoses. Wait till coolant cools out. Lifting front of the car helps catching coolant for reuse. . Aux pump is not the same as water pump. It is electric and forces coolant flow after You turn the car off. The car blows warm air after 2 or 3 minutes thanks to this pump. Hope this helps
