Just out of interest really, is it possible to use a mechanical peugeot bosch body, gov etc and swap out the pump head/camp plate/ delivery valves from a, say, bmw electronic bosch tds pump? In effect making a fully mechanical pump for the bmw x25tds engine?
Then of course, there is the matter of shaft diameter/pulley (chain vs belt) and pump mounting holes...?

In a word, No.
The BMW pumps dont have bolt holes for the leaverset amoungst other things.
You need a 324 or 524 tds pump but they are rare as rocking horse shit. I have a 524 pump but it's dead.

You can build a pump to run any engine you want fairly easily, the only critical things is to use a body / mainshaft that is the same as OEM, or else you will have to adapt stuff which isnt fun.
The BMW has an odd 2 lug pattern iirc which is rare to find, altho they do exsist, so you just need one of those bodies, and build a decent pump inside of it.... Probs easier to just get a mech BMW pump like dum dums tho..
And as for dum dums pump, all it will need is a rebuilt, its VERY hard to kill a VE.

Darren, i have a mechanical vauxhall bosch ve thats probs had about 1000 miles use from new - it has a two lug pattern body (both horizontally facing) so i'm assuming this is what the bmw has..
Would it then be a case of using the bmw mainshaft and vane pump, pump head/camplate and the peugeot/vauxhall gov and lda (so top end of pump)? This way the bmw pulley can be retained as well as standard fitment.
Cheers,

As well as lugs you need to take into considering the "snout / nose" on the pump, as this is normally a certain size to allow pump to site corectly / take the side strain rather than the nuts...

Darren epic avatar.
N0V0S; Ive got both a vauxhall pump and a BMW pump so ill take a pic of them side by side so you can see the difference as i was gonna try and mod the vauxhall one.
The 325TDS and the 524TD pump are slightly different noses but just need a card board gasket making up
