You have 3 options one is ask the mehcanic to weld the bracket but it may not last long due the break. 2 order one from bmw which will be pretty expensive and 90% chance you will need to buy the pump with it or you can look around a wreaking yard or ebay like i have just found in a quick search click the link
Hope this helps please check part in the link is the correct part for your car before and purchase as not sure if it is compatable to your engine type good luck p.s buy the serpentine belt need dont risk second

SOUNDS very plausible ,have had it happen on bmw a few times ,would recommend buying bracket re-assembling and running vehicle and checking all other pulleys that run on the serpentine belt carefully for wear or noise as it is usually a vibration/loose brackets that cause a mounting bracket to crack or fail ,sorry cant help you on costs or availability ,it often changes with dealerships

Hey Andy a quick was to solve your problem is to locate a similar vehicle in a car yard, go have a look at the configuration and draw your self a quick diagram whilst your there.
SOURCE: just had the valley pan
please explain what you mean by valley pan ,now heard of a dog kennel and pigs tails and trunk for the boot and hood for the bonnet but this is a new one on me ,these bolts can come loose and drop out if they were loosened up for anything and not re-tightened properly but this could have been done before you bought the car ,older models with V belts can and do work loose on their own ,hence a proper service fleet vehicle style to ensure everything is correct and not a dealer style service where its profit motivated by changing everything in sight except a proper inspection

No. Save yourself some money! Do get it fixed though because if you do not, there is no lubrication and the bearings will give out and send the pulley flying into the radiator or worse. If you would like instructions on how to perform this repair, let me know.
