you might want to try the other forum as far as e46 issues... I remember reading way back on this when i used to have my 02 M3 and the issue is not the pump but the Transmision itself... all the pump does is press the clutch for you and change the gears.

If it's skipping, it's probably the syncros inside... You should take it to the BMW dealer as they can check the software and make sure everything is okay there.

Good luck bud.
