I guess I'm proof this isn't really accurate. I drive a 2010 128i with 163,000 miles (bought with 63,000 miles), and I've owned it for 6 years now with no issues whatsoever. I read way back that the biggest issue and likely a point of failure is the OFHG failing and causing black rubber chunks to get stuck in the pump and burn it up. As long as you change that gasket and your coolant beforehand and don't let it get to that point moving forward, you're probably going to be ok.
