I've just bought a replacement fuel pump from these people:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351180041171?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It's an exact replacement, (correct diameter and electrical connections) for our Bosch pumps for less than £50. 

And, from the pictures, it looks like the ones that certain well known suppliers are selling for £157!

And they are just the ones that fit into the vibration damper. There are many others that will get you going if you're stuck by the roadside. I have used pumps that are smaller in diameter and put a large and strong cable (zip) tie around the damper and pulled it up to hold the pump. Any pump that will meet the pressure and volume requirements will run the FI.

Ah, how at times we pine for the good old, gravity-fed days when all one did was reach down under the petrol tank and move the lever on both sides one soft click down to the auf position...and away until she stumbled and coughed well down the road, then it was another movement up past zu to res.




No wizardy electrics, minimal fuss, a set of points, a condensor and two sparkies.....

Oh, yeah, but it was barely 60 horsepower, crap brakes (the original ABS - couldn't make 'em skid), hard, skinny tyres, oversprung and underdamped suspension, a willowy frame, constant pushrod seal leaks, often imbalanced carbies, and only 280 Watts of juice....the good old days.

Do you mean when it goes cough cough and you reach down to put it on res and OH F*$# NO IT"S ALREADY THERE

I still have a soft spot for those old 1000cc boxers.

They rock in my book. 115mph is plenty and 25mph to 115 in top and maintenence is a joy to do on them.

So simple and yet so practical

Having just redone the inside of my tank after ethanol digested my  vibration damper, I can say this this is nice little pump.

...and when used in conjunction with this adapter fits perfectly.

Exactly! That's why I'll ride my 1983 R100RS 'til the sun sets on my journey. 

This supplier is not the cheapest on the block but it looks well informed about models and OEM part number and suggests the follow Bosch number:

Fuel Pump In tank 0580463999 Bosch

There are cheaper options for that ref. , is this valid?

Does BMW generate a new part number for the same pump for every year of every model where it is used ??

Been there done that 

More than once 

Yep lots of aftermarket pumps around, anyone point me where I can get the plastic mesh filter that goes on the bottom of the pump, the original round ones are nearly the same price as the pumps

BMW want 500 euro-bucks for a pump here. How much is your filter?

Get a pump for a VL Commodore and use the filter that fits on them. Done it a few times and works well.

$47 for the fuel pump strainer, Munich has 52mm pumps for $299, eBay under $100 but no strainer

Is that the colostomy bag type filter? I've seen a few pumps like that but not sure whether they would fit in the tank correctly.

Thanks RicK, I have that style in the 11, I have my original pump for the 16v k100 and the round basket style strainer is stuffed, was hoping to find a cheep strainer

Gary, I'm guessing that he gauze is damaged.

Instead of $50 for 2c bit of plastic, maybe you could keep the basket and attach another nylon  gauze from something like a chainsaw air filter or similar, using hard plastic cement or suitable adhesive.

It's really annoying the stupid money BMW want for these bits and pieces. The rubber virbation damper is 99 euros. I'm going to need to look at replacing that too.

A mate rebuilt his filter screen with what I believe is Termi Mesh. And silver soldered it together.
Regards Martin.

It sure does fit Beemer, I have found that folding the long mesh bag in half helps heaps getting it in
Terminesh would be about as useless as tits on a frog, the pumps will likely jam if particles over 6 microns get through and that mesh is about 25 microns if memory serves me correct.  Good for straining the peas or pasta but not fuel.

Thanks for the confirmation Rick. I opted for genuine Bosch pump this time. It cost me about 50% more than a noname. I need another at some stage for another bike, so now I have a larger choice.

Obviously if a substitute material is used for the filter it has be fine enough. Gluing a bit of fly-screen on would not help.

Just ordered this lot of strainers. I will be installing one once they arrive, looks like late July. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

That's for bringing this back up. I think I'll buy the pump which shows up next to that filter.

Last time I paid 100 Brexits from  a UK outlet. Half that price with a filter suits me a lot better.

If they managed to tell the diameter, it would be helpful...

as above

I have Pabokay pump from Aliexpress. Exactly the same as original. Six months in tank and runs very well. They advertised filter but never send it. 
The pump is quieter than old original pump. I believe Bosch sold  whole production line to Pabokay.
Regards

"I believe Bosch sold  whole production line to Pabokay."

What is the reason for that belief? Do you have some info or are you just guessing because it looks identical?

100 percent identical, plastic parts, metal parts. Its old production line from eighties. Pabokay probably signed obligation to send some quantities for Bosch network.
I dont have a proof but its obviously produced on same machine
