The only way to be assured when to preemptively change the pump out is to have the car scanned regularly with a BMW-reading scan tool (i.e. on an OBD2 reader) and look for pump low-speed fault codes. Once the codes start to appear, change the pump because it will fail eventually.

My modus operandi.
I rarely see above 215 deg F on my car (thanks to my permanent Scangauge Monitor) so I feel good.
Once every 3 months, I check my codes... just in case.
