Arrow how long did your first water pump last?

the water pump on my '08 135i just failed after 40k and that seems really soon for such an integral part (you know, the thing that runs entire cooling system?) to fail. i understand that the water pumps are prone to failure, so i'm curious what is par for the course so i can try to replace it ahead of time before the next time i have to be towed to a dealer.

or maybe i should hope the new one fails SOONER... like before my CPO extended warranty is up? i don't drive particularly hard, maybe it's time to start....
