It happened to my pump as well (1990 535i). No pics of the split, but I was also quite amused at the way the top popped off the canister. I was lucky enough to score a new pump at BMA during a sale for $200.

LOL, Well we thought it may have been caused by the well over 110mph+ sprint Snakeyes and I had going up Hwy 249 in Houston to a friends party, [had quite a few things go wrong after the idler pully messed up a few belts :P] but i ALMOST feel better seeing that others have seen it before.
Guess there is a first time for everything :P

Well it is ALMOST reasuring that it has happend to other people, atleast i know now i didnt do anything excessively evil to the car to cause it :P

I might have a pump ....
if you are interested.
I just replaced mine, suspecting that it is my problem. I open a topic about it ( http://www.bimmer.info/forum/showthread.php?t=27089 ), but I found out the source of my problem just yesterday. It is unbelievable ..... anyway it is not the pump. I will post the solution soon (even with a pic.)
