115 kms 2009 135i n54 waterpump dead

I have a question. I bought my E88 a few years ago. Dont have any records about the water pump being replaced from previos owner

Last time I looked under the car to check what kind/brand of water pump I have and shows a “Continental”? Is this the one this car came with?


Does anyone know if this is the original water pump or not? 123k miles. Its a 2008 135i. I would like to know. Thanks.

the conti is the genuine pump yes but that doesnt mean it hasnt been replaced though if you are unsure it might be best to make sure you have money set aside for if it does fail

Dang it. This is not the answer. I was expecting. 😁 Thanks bud. I appreciate it. Best would be to check the date code on the water pu,p huh?

If you can, that'd be a good idea.

Can this be done from underneath the car Assuming the plastic shield is removed? Last time we checked, my friend only read the brand.

I have a 2008 128 which I've owned for 15 years. It's winter stored for generally 6 months every year so its been on the road for only 10½ years. It still has its original water pump and thermostat. It has about 75,000 miles on it.

2013. 128i m-sport with N52

water pump ok, with 155,000 km

likely will replace (with thermostat) as preventative maintenance soon
