I know about the previous E36 cooling system issues, etc. but I'm not planning on replacing anything until approx 120K, and then only the water pump and tstat. I'll try to time the battery repacement the so I can run the 12 min pump priming. Battery is OE.
BTW, my car avgs 49 mph for the last 65K miles. I'm assuming that is 2X avg speed for the average car. 65K/49=1,326 hours. Assuming the first 35K was 25 mph average that comes to 1,400 hours. Total is 2,736 hours.
Where is this heading? If water pumps fail at 90K (myth?) that equals 3600 hours. So do I have approximately 900 hours left on the pump, or another 44Kmiles left?
