E85 ABS/DSC Pump mount

Greetings fellow Z4 fans.
I recently acquired a 2007 Z4 E85 with a known ABS issue, namely the common trifecta of lights on the dash. After checking powers and grounds etc, I determined that the ABS / DSC pump was bad, so it's now away with ECUTesting being repaired. It looks like a repair may have been attempted previously - doesn't look great as you can see in the picture below.
However, I also have an issue with the mounting bracket for the pump. As you can see in the picture, the ABS pump is attached to the mount but the mount is just "hanging out", i.e. is not attached in any way to the body.

I've looked online and cannot find any schematics or pictures of the correct mounting. I'm not even sure this is the correct bracket? I see on other Z4s, prior to 2007, there is a diagonal stabilising bar, however, this doesn't appear to fit the 2007 model from searching on ebay. Can anyone please clarify or provide a picture of the correct mounting?

When searching ebay, there seems to be no listing for pump brackets for 2007-or-greater cars.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
TIA :)

Hmm …i will send you pictures of both Facelift and Preface shortly as have both on my shelf.
 
Right …that mount is not a standard piece .
Here are 2 pictures ….same principle but slightly different on a Facelift and Preface.
Your unit looks battered …I have few here if you need to replace.
The Rusty Bracket unit is Preface .
The Facelift unit is from a June 2008 car.

Cool, thanks for that info. I guess either would fit but the facelift would be preferable(?). Are there any part numbers? I did wonder about the current mount I have as it doesn't appear to attach anywhere.
As mentioned, the unit is currently away at ECUTesting so they may advise to scrap it - it does indeed look battered. I'll let you know if I then need one. Your's looks almost new! (I probably should have posted before sending that one away! darn!)
Thanks again :thumbsup:
 
Yip the Clean looking unit is from 2008 clean car.
Pm me your contact details and let me know outcome 👍
 
Update:- ECUTesting have contacted me regarding my ABS/DSC pump and they have advised that it's irreparable. In fairness to them, they are not charging me for their assessment, unless, that is, I want it posted back, which I think is very good of them as I expected at least a diagnostic fee. Nice to see a business acting honourably. I would definitely recommend or use them again, should the occasion arise.

@Umfaan - I'll be contacting you by DM to see if I can buy your spare pump. Hopefully, it's still available.

Incidentally, in case of use for someone else, I found part numbers for the ABS pump, including mounting bracket (and other parts), on the Sytner's BMW (UK) website:- https://www.sytnerstevenagebmwparts...archGuid=827D56FF-5927-4AB5-A850-398754A3CA19 (could not find on realOEM)
 
Hi and welcome to the forum Johnny. Hopefully you can get a replacement part from Umfaan. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks @ [ref]Umfaan[/ref], replied to you just now - much appreciated.

& thanks for the warm welcome @ [ref]Mr Tidy[/ref], - your coupe looks pretty special! #drool! :)
