'G-series B58 owners in cold climates - check your oil pumps! We've had two almost new cars in our shop since february with blown engines due to the oil pump failing in freezing conditions. BMW have made an updated oil pump which replaces duoplex plastic with metal. The pictures speak for themself'
I wonder if this will eventually translate to breaking down due to age? I'll never understand why the German companies use so much plastic where there should be metal…

Curious how much the new part costs and how much labor is involved?
