I don't get you, 10000k less from 80000k so what is the Actual cost of 2007 below water pumps?
Okay the water pumps depends on the type of engine ..Soo if your car has an N engine which includes N52 N53 Ñ54 etc youd have an electric water pump ..which costs 80k or more ..but in Lagos it's 80k

But if you own a car with the M engine .which includes m52 m54 m50 ..youd have a belt driven water pump which cost max of 10k or more


It might cost more tho

OK, which makes the m54 a more cheaper engine to maintain.

If the N engines are too expensive to maintain, then the M engines will do.
What do you think?

the cost of N54 water pump is not 80k unless you are talking of used water pump which is not advisable. I recently lost my N54 water pump due to a crack in the plastic impeller housing (don't know why BMW loves plastics). A brand new one costs about 170k. However, I decided I wouldn't replace with one that has plastic impeller housing as I saw a doorman aftermarket that is all aluminium with good reviews. Tried to source here in Nigeria but couldn't get. Purchased online for $390 excluding tax and shipping. At least it should last the lifetime of the car.

A water pump really isn't ideal to buy used. Why risk that?

Try to order original Toyota parts then you'll know there's no much difference ..
Thing is you can easily get cheap new Toyota parts but know that they are often fake Chinese parts

you don't get it. Have you seen N54 water pump? It's impeller housing is plastic. It cracks from there overtime. Used is 90k. You don't know how long it has been used and how much life remains before it cracks. To reach that water pump is a pain in the ass.

The availability of those fake Chinese parts make ownership of the Toyota vehicle a little bit better than the BMW that you can't find such parts and technicians

New Chinese parts = Belgium BMW parts in terms of costs . And they last longer than Chinese parts

Don't worry I'm writing a post on why BMW ownership isn't as hard as people make you believe it is .

I would really avoid you as a BMW user, if you believe used BMW part is as good as brand new part.

BMW wey the gods Don curse them with the use of plastic materials in their vehicle. How will an automaker use plastic bits for its water pump impeller housing even the radiator housing is the same thing..
