You won't have any problems if you keep an eye on coolant and oil levels!

BTW, I've decided all my valuable response will be given when I'm under the influence of Ezra Brooks! Yea!


Does OP plan to track the car regularly or something?

A 128i used as a daily driver will see what, a single water pump failure in its lifetime if that? Nobody's scrapping N52 based BMW's due to consequences related to water pump failure from what I can see. And you can always replace it proactively if it stresses you.
