So... I don't think this mod would apply to our cars.

Then if the same concept were applied to the hardware our cars have it would involve a software modification to hijack the electric water pump. One would think though if it is controlled by software that BMW would be intelligent enough to have the output of the pump dependent upon a coolant temperature reading so that the temperature is always optimal.
