Generally speaking, any solid (non BMW) garage should also be able to source the parts and do the repair, correct?

Best,
I've never done a water pump on my 235 but from what I understand it's not a procedure the mechanic is doing for a first time on your car. familiarization and experience because are important. So a BMW centric independent is important.

I would also say as an example - for the oil filter housing gasket it should be a BMW guy, whether at an independent or a dealer.
