Oil pump manufacturing fault. One of the internal components on the oil pump for these B58 engines contains a ring that is made of plastic. Due to its the nature of this type of material, when it is heated and cooled, over time it becomes brittle and cracks. Damage to this internal component is leading to oil pump failure, and eventually engine failure. There is no recall on this yet, which is highly concerning. Basically my oil pump is a ticking time bomb waiting to fail, and BMW refuses to address the issue. Attached are photos of different oil pumps from the exact same engine as mine, containing the plastic ring which is visibly damaged from repeated exposure to hot and cold temperature fluctuations. Once this ring gs bad, engine damage may be catastrophic.
