This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 64118368462 (64-11-8-368-462) and is described as Genuine BMW Water Control Valve with Auxiliary Coolant Pump for E38 740i, 740iL, 750iL (1995, 1996).
The Auxiliary Water Pump is an electric pump that helps carry coolant through the E38 740i heating system. It's like an electric valve that regulates coolant flow. If your E38 heater is suddenly acting up - blowing hot air or no air unexpectedly - this valve is one of the likely causes (the other being the Final Stage Unit). It's also the source of coolant leaks as the plastic connectors become fragile over time.
Supersedes obsolete BMW Part Number 64118391348 (64-11-8-391-348).
