Does anyone know how much a vacuum pump for 04 - 545i costs and where is a good place to purchase online?

Well since it is listed here as $413




I would venture to guess you could get it for 25% less here?

Just make sure the unit is fully seated before you crank down on the bolts, otherwise the mounting ears will snap.

Supply vacuum to the brakes, and HVAC doors

I think (not well verse with BMW yet) because the BMW uses the VANOS system there is less vacuum in the motor than a regular motor using a conventional camshaft.
