The pump usually causes overheating - the thermostat fails to a full open position, to not cause an overheating condition. I won't say typical, but 90K mls is not unusual for the pump to fail.

Check this and the N52 engine sub-forums, there are a number of well-documented threads. And the DIY forum for changing the pump.
