Does your car get hot? Symptom of failing water pump?

Ok so i've owned my 2008 E88 135i for about 1000km now, about 1-2 months.

First thing i noticed was how warm it gets in the car.

It's winter in Melbourne Australia now with average outside temps of say 6-13 degrees celsius, and on the lowest temp setting (16.5C) i found the interior temps always felt warm.

It's not exactly hot air blowing out of the vents, but more radiant heat from the engine bay transferring into the cabin.

Is this normal?

Was it a symptom of my water pump dying which finally shat itself today?

I will wait till i get my car back to see if there is any difference after the pump is replaced.
