BMW has gone to the electric pump on the new 2006 BMW 330i. This is a 6 cyl, 255 hp, 3 liter engine and I doubt BMW would have made this step without lot of testing at all temps and hp outputs. The April 2005 issue of "AUTOMOBILE" has the article on the car - the water pump is just a sidenote - they claim it saves 2hp and they were very weight conscious on the engine. Looks like you could mount it anywhere and have a reliable, mass produced, high output pump. The article mentions it is computer controlled. Herb Sanders
