Not to mention that the more pressure and volume the pump puts out ,the more horsepower it steals from the engine to do so.
    I've never had any problems here in arizona running the stock pumps and stock radiators on bmw's
    Bill,

    That makes a ton of sense. I was planning to purchase that pump when my current pump's time is up. Thanks for saving me the cash!

    I believe current Roundell has a review of this thing. I was kind of thinking about this thing too. The pump does look like it was built to last.

    Bill: I was taught slightly differently. The greater the coolant velocity, the greater heat flux.
