I wouldn't worry if I were you. There's been no 128i water pump failures reported in this thread. Doesn't mean there's been no failures but suggests a definite trend. I traded in my 128i with the original pump at 75K miles.

I have a 2008 128i, not sure of the production date as i bought used, but i believe i had to replace the original at 140k km (89k Milkes), and it cost about $1400 CAD (1.1k US)
Mine decided to go on a hill on my way to school. thankfully about 10 minutes or less away from my dealership. Although thanks to the forums here i immediately new what it was, and tried to drive there. Could only go in intervals of about half a mile then would overheat. My solution was to keep dumping my water into the coolant reservoir to make it there and sit on the side of the road for 5 - 10 minutes. Took me almost an hour to get there but we made it without a tow truck. Seems to be a lot worse for some than others when it goes.

But before tuning, we talking about service, and i mentioned how i wanted to replace the water pump (48,000 kms original) on my 125i when doing a coolant flush (original as well) for peace of mind. They told me that on the non turbo cars it is reliable and not an issue, it is mainly the turbocharged cars (N54 and N55) due to the extra cooling/heat, but they can replace it if i really wanted to. Now i am in a mixed boat, not sure if i will replace it or not, it is not cheap (€300 for the pump and thermostat OEM + 4 hours of labour or so i think). |

2013 with 60K water pump failure. Just had it and the thermostat replaced yesterday, and "ding", my yellow overheat message pops as I drive into my work parking lot... Gotta take it back
To top it off, by battery died at the shop

Does the Thermostat fail on these cars just as routinely as the water pump?
I know on the E46 (and a lot of other cars) you would usually change them together. |

The recommendation is to change them both at the same time. No reason to do the work twice to save a few bucks on a part.

Good news is it didn't happen again at the shop and no codes. Ghost in the machine I guess...

Still have one issue after picking up my car again, the cooling fan is surging, even after replacing the water pump and thermostat. No codes, no other issues. Any ideas?
