Sorry man If you were in NJ... I would come out to help or at least provide company. Sucks that your WP gave up the ghost. Be sure that the mechanic checks the codes and how many times you have had speed deviation/etc issues logged. If you see like hundreds of codes stored... than the car was trying to speak to you.

I'm curious, and I apologize if this has been answered already, but I noticed something when I checked my VIN @ bmwvin.com. My car has the option code S823A, "Hot-Climate Version."
My initial, and hopeful, thought was that cars with this option would have more robust cooling systems and perhaps water pumps that may last longer or that the other cooling components, if upgraded, would somehow work better in such a way that would put less stress on the water pump. That said though, I'd be surprised if someone in this thread with a failed water pump DIDN'T have this option. Perhaps though cars with this option may have their water pumps last longer? Some speculation I found via Google/Bing University: http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/bmw-3-s...version-3.html (it's an oooold thread from a Singapore BMW enthusiast forum): Quote:

Does anyone have a definitive answer? I'm curious to know, especially if it helps provide more clarity on the water pump thing. Edit: Just another thought, how many of you here would say you let your car idle for at least 10ish seconds just after starting the car and then after stopping/parking? The thought with this being that as you start the car, you kind of let all of the fluids circulate a bit after sitting for a while and then as you stop, you let the car idle for a bit to cycle hot fluids through and let them cool at least slightly before you shut it all down. I'm not saying that I know this helps in any way, but I'm just throwing ideas out there, anything that might help (even if it sounds outrageous).

They need an S-NJroads version which will swap in the Raptor suspension so you can handle the "crater/pothole maintained roads of NJ" I'd buy that for $1 |

Just replaced mine at 119k with TS and OFHG.
Symptons: After driving 30min I would park and the low coolant light would go on. Filled the resevour but light continued to go on. When I pulled the pump, bits of gasket were on the impellor blades of the WP |

Climate control Blower is not working after replacing water pump
Guys,
I do appreciate your input, i have 335i 07 my water pump died at 82k replaced after that my blower unit inside doesn't work. I did read most articles on this but my problem is i took out the glove box and measured the volt coming to blower is zero, so thats take the probability of blower motor or FSU. any suggestions ?? |

07 here still working at 53k miles. Slight oil leak, maybe from turbos, or one of gaskets. Hopefully when I bring in my car for that battery recall, they can take a look at my turbos to see if they need to be replaced under warranty.

Like others mentioned if it is the same one, which it might be but I dont think so personally then higher failure rate could be due to higher temp that the 335 causes or the speed it has to operate at to keep the temp in check.

84k and still going. However, I'm getting the cooling thermostat code so I wouldn't be surprised if my water pump is on it's last legs. I think I'm going to proactively replace it.

06 330i just failed at 132k miles
Yellow warning light, and ten seconds later the red warning light along with the AC stopped working. Pulled over and there was a some coolant boiling out of the recovery/fill tank and the fan was running full speed and really loud. Let it sit for 15 minutes, started it up and no issues. Drove it 10 miles to the dealership with no issues, and that's where it sits as I type this. Gonna see what they quote for repair, they were closed when I dropped it off. There's a highly rated independent shop nearby that will surely beat the stealerships high prices.

Sorry if bringing up this week-old thread offends anyone, but I did some research that may bring some hope to those of us driving later-model 328s.
I've been doing some extensive searching and reading on this and came up with the following info. First, this post (from this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...t=11517586925): Quote:
Part #11517563183: http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/p...517563183.html Part #11517586925: http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/p...517586925.html If you take a look at the product application notes, for the older part number (ending in 3183), it looks like this part was used on cars up to 7/2008. I would guess that means cars built up until that point. The newer part number just lists a bunch of BMW models with non-turbo I6 engines. If you click through the "Waterpump-Thermostat" link in the product application section, it looks like you just get a list of supporting parts needed. You'll notice that a few water pumps are listed, but the same notes on the date are there when you click "More Details" (http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/s...roduct=1271140). I'm not sure if there's a good way to tell what model years exactly used which part# water pump and I couldn't find where accel got their information. Can anyone else shed light on this maybe? So would this be any indication that 328s built after 7/2008 have the newest water pump part# installed? Feel free to tell me if I'm completely off base. My information sources may not necessarily be the best, but I'm just trying to think of any theories or ideas here that could help give some of us more peace of mind, especially since many of us use these cars as daily drivers and for the occasional long distance road trip.
