WANTED: pre face lift steering column

So after a trip to the dealer and an MOT I have been informed that the power steering pump has failed and a new one is required.

Dealer quote for a new one from BMW is £3k.

Anyone seen a second hand one anywhere?
 
I would clarify what you are being told before shelling out? It's a fully electric system so doesn't have a'pump'.

There are lots of possible faults with the system many won't require a complete replacement, what are the symptoms? and fault codes?. Also don't buy a pre-facelift replacement if you do have to get a full column/motor/control unit, make sure you get a later facelift example. They fit the pre-facelift and were upgraded so don't suffer from the sticky steering issues some people get.
 
Thanks for the help.

They’ve said it’s the motor that has failed.

I’ve located somewhere who’ll refurbish the motor so hopefully that will work.
