118i Water Pump

[leofea]

Hi,

I know this isn’t a BMW forum, but hopefully there will be someone who can help!

The Water Pump and Thermostat need replacing on my partners 57 plate 118i.

She’s going to be replacing it in a few months so want to get it done as cheap as I can.

I stupidly purchased this:

without checking in too much detail. I received it and it looks completely different.

The pump is completely different, and if I search the part number 7566335 it looks like it’s for other series.

The seller assures me that it will fit the car, despite it having a different design.

Question is, will it be ok for a few months? And are the going to be any issues?

Thanks
