My N55 WP just left my wife stranded on a terrible and hazardous stretch of road. Had the car towed back to the house and replacing it now.

I had this happen on my E90 N54. At the time I theorized that the OFHG failure was related - small bits of hardened gasket material fudging up the pump innards. That is debatable. But IMHO the VCG, OFHG, and WP/Thermostat are all maintenance items at ~80k miles. Oil pan gasket at 100-120k.
