Verification method: OE catalogue, VIN, production data and removed-pump comparison

Visual Identification Points

Set 11517586779 beside the removed pump and compare the housing outline, bolt pattern and gasket seat. The 3 BM01017006 gallery images provide viewing references, but measurements remain decisive.

Inspect BM01017006 at every installation interface: flange holes, coolant ports, hub position and sealing face. Reject the match if 11517586779 requires forced alignment.

Using OE and Removed-Part Evidence

Confirm BM01017006 against the removed BMW unit rather than relying on appearance alone. Reference 11517586779, the build date and catalogue remarks should agree before ordering.

For BM01017006, review the complete BMW OE chain around 11517586779. Superseded numbers may identify the same service family, but mounting and drive details still require confirmation.

The workbook names 5 Series as an application clue for 11517586779; vehicle-specific catalogue evidence still governs the final match.

Water Pump Contribution to Thermal Control

11517586779 provides circulation for the undefined engine-cooling network. Its output must remain steady as engine speed and thermal load change.

11517586779 is catalogued for an undefined thermal-management application. The pump creates the circulation needed to carry engine heat into the radiator air stream.

Commercial Sourcing Requirements

Importers sourcing 11517586779 can identify the item internally as BM01017006. Add annual demand, packaging preference and delivery terms so the BMW quotation is comparable.
