Well, I think I just joined the water pump club!
Left work a few minutes early to beat Friday night rush hour traffic in Tampa to drive 2 hours across the state, and got the dreaded amber overheat icon, followed shortly by the red icon and limp mode. Traffic was like 10mph on I-4 anyway so I was able to get across to a wide shoulder area fortunately. Called BMW Assist and a flatbed took it to Reeves BMW. I'm at 60,100 miles on a 2012 135i. I struggled whether or not to buy the BMW extended warranty, but did so about 18 months ago just for this very failure after reading about all the WP faults on this forum. So I'm sorta relieved to get some money back on it. Between this, a blown charge pipe, and a cracked coolant reservoir, I figure it paid for itself by now.
I got a 2017 330i loaner with 400 miles on it. Nice car but the motor sucks...
