 99 M Roadster part number required



Does anyone know who might sell a power steering pump overhaul seal kit. Can't find it at OEM. Don't want to buy the entire pump, when seals and o'rings will do. Thanks in advance for all replies.

Well I found no kits for the power steering pump and asked the price of a replacement pump. $788Aust.....WOW!!!! Checked my TIS, but no help. Checked the ETK and found an exploded view of the pump. One O ring and one front shaft seal. Out with the pump, pulled it down and took the flattened O ring and front seal to a bearing and seal vendor and $12 later I had replacement parts which I put it back together and back in the M Roadster. One fixed Power Steering pump leak!!! Can't believe the local BMW Master Mechanic, as he likes to call himself, didn't think go this way. I think I will call myself a master mechanic from know on, lol.

Good for you! Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go with your instincts.

Any chance we can get you to post the O-ring size (cross section x dia.) and seal part number here?

As for your BMW mechanic, if he's working for the dealer, his hands may have been tied from doing what you did. If he's an independant, well, shame on him!
