Interesting pictures .... but doesn't look as though the plastic impeller just got loose on the metal shaft .... more like a forieign body jammed the impeller causing it to crack apart.

I was undecided on this one as I thought the same as you initially, but on closer inspection it seems that the centre has worn through in places before finally coming loose. I am now facing the prospect of flushing the block under proessure to try and find these stray parts - joy Sad

I'm glad I recently changed to a metal impeller now I've seen those pics. Thumbs Up!

I had mine done about two years ago, as a precaution when the stat was done.
It was in perfect condition, no wear to the shaft and no cracks on the plastic impellor. Done approaching 117k.
I had it replaced anyway with with the very same type, proper BMW part.

Wonder if it's a certain type of anti-freeze that affects them, makes them brittle.
