Of course you're correct, but I just like to get non-essential stuff out of the way when I can. And, in a worse case scenario when the alternator isn't working for some reason, it is one less draw to allow the battery to function just that little bit longer. I have been in desperate situations while trying to drive home on just battery power and it's frustrating when you don't quite make it. Would the removal of the pump from the car also log a fault if the fuse is still in place? I imagine it would, but that would hopefully have the BMW service department calling you to OK the pump replacement before they "fixed" it.
