WTB - E30 M20 PS pump

[ahab]

Looking for known good power steering pump. According to realoem, the part number is 32411141243 and any E30 M20 pump will work. PM with price shipped 19067

Is it physically different than the M30 pump? I've got a bunch of those as I'm sure you do also.

Realoem calls it out as E30 M20 only, probably due to hose inlet/outlet. The part I found more surprising is that it's not iX specific.

I took a look at the cross-referencing last night and it's a bit confusing to me. For example, the M20 eta pump (32 41 1 133 969) cross references with all e28's and all e30's including the ix.

If you have a bunch of PS hoses with various fittings on them then it's just a matter of cutting and brazing a particular fitting on to create a hose that fits.

What am I doing wrong then?

bmwfans is reporting something else then. I guess the definitive source is RealOEM?

The definitive source will be my garage! I have a bunch of M30 pumps to try out, assuming the bar rating is the same.
