      Just remove from the original location. Install the lines and longer harness, position the pump and top up the fluid and start the bleeding procedure. People have mentioned to keep the pump in the factory upright position when bleeding and then installing it in the Burkhart bracket after done successfully.

        I'm soon to relocate my hydraulic pump. I've got the extended hydraulic lines & the longer electrical harness.

        Are you done with relocating yours? It's pretty much crickets on this subject since many did theirs long ago or converted to manual. It's current stuff for me. I've got a borrowed pump to use as a mockup to design a support bracket since nobody makes it anymore. Mine has to ride next to my DCS module in the passenger side cowl.

          BURKHART bracket will fit your car......contact them to see if they will sell you just the bracket. If you are handy at DIYing it then just do that as it'll be much faster.

          Upgrade your BMW E46 M3 SMG2 system with a pump relocation kit that moves key components away from engine heat for improved serviceability and reliability.

              Post 15 has a DIY.

              I'm assuming your SMG system was in good health at the time of relocation. Relocating your pump won't fix any existing problems you may have. If your pump is dropping out of gear before relocation there is a good chance it will after relocation. If you also did a pump rebuild the potential number of places where an issue can
