R50/53 Graf Water Pump

Graf Water Pump
I'm about to do some maintenance on my '04 S including changing the water pump. I'm deciding which brand to go with. There are no names on eBay for around $30 which I think I will avoid. My local independent auto parts store, which is very good can get me one made by Graf for about $80 and they say Graf is a quality brand. I trust them but was wondering if anyone here has had experience with a Graf pump and would recommend one. It sounds like a good part to me but I would like to confirm if possible.
TIA

I only use the original OEM pumps with the MINI 2yr warranty. I've tried to use the aftermarket pumps like this due to the much higher profit margin but only got burned and had to do the job twice and for free the second time. So now if the pump fails with the OEM the MINI dealer has to do it for free.

+1 on recall I received a paper about it from MINI
Even though we sold it...might try to dig up owners info
Also to OP
you stated this was a 2004 and you needed help
Pelican gave you the advice and article on changing the pump.
Now it's an R56?
We can't help if we don't know what kind of car it is
They have entirely different systems in place.

Its here for the Gen 2 R56+ MINIs , but I think you found it already

Also the recall people mention is on the small aux water pump in front of the transmission, not the main water pump. Some people get that confused. But we listed that and all info in the thread.
Thanks

You can use the Graf , but dont get the half pump version ( impeller and backing only ) , make sure if you do go aftermarket you get the whole pump. Like the 4 version listed in the link. Some currently on sale.
