At 83-ish thousand miles now, and suspect either water pump or thermostat (or both) have shit the bed.
Repeated overheating yesterday, though oil temp remained steady. Limped home pulling over intermittently for cool-downs. Hope to get in somewhere tomorrow for servicing.

80k. The magic number where BMW cooling systems magically know how to fail.

The water pump on the N52 is a work of overengineered German art. I don't know if the turbo engines are similar but I imagine they are.
 It looks like a little electric turbo! |

My 1er water pump went at 33k miles. The one on the e61 went at about 92. The thermostat gets replaced with the pump

Do other manufacturers have difficult of a time making / sourcing a water pump? |

I think our 530xiT got a new pump at around that mileage as well (high 20s?)

Our X3 made it maybe ~40k miles on the water pump before it died. But hey, it's electric so it saves like .3 miles per gallon, and extra bonus, it costs a fortune to replace.
