ahh.
Doing a water pump on my 525TDS, which after assuming it would be a nightmare because everything is very tight for space, is an absolute joy to work on. The fan shroud has 2 clips in it and then slides out without even being a pain against the fan, the vac operated grill behind that is just as easy, the tensioner was a simple case of unbolting it and swinging out of the way because it's a little spring damper unit, the water pump had 2 threaded holes in it to push the water pump out of the block, everything looked brand new in there because BMW spec proper coolant for their cars, and everything was well designed to be removed and replaced, with proper O ring seals!
So far removed from your average modern/cheap/french cars (or worse, all 3)!
Only downside was the fact it had to be done in the first place because some tightwad bodger chucked on the cheapest pump he could find with plastic fins at some point in it's past!
