1999 BMW 520 power steering pumps

Steering problem
1999 BMW 520 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 105455 miles

Hi; the power steering pump in my 1999 BMW 520i (E39) is wining badly and so i think it's time to replace it, however I was wanting to buy one second hand on ebay but there are only ones advertised in the auctions which are taken from 523i (E39) they are twin vanos , I don't know if my car is twin vanos, or even what that even means. All I know is that my car has a 2.0 M52 engine, will one of the power steering pumps from the 523i fit mine?
