The title says it all. I picked one up from a local yard and it doesn't fit. The one on the car has the pressure side hose coming out straight back and the one that I pick up has it bent...I really hope somebody has one laying around...thanks!

I have one out of an 86 535i, but I have no idea whether they interchange. If you want it, just let me know.

There's a guy parting out 77 530i on firstfives.org
I can get a picture of one off the car (getting ready to replace leaky one on US car) but my camera is one place and the pump is another, so it wouldn't happen until tomorrow night.
Just let me know if that will help, and I'll email it to you.

It sure looks like early e28 pumps are the same as e12 from this link
