Well that is still higher than the 50,000-60,000 miles on the N54 engines no?
75-80% of all water pumps on N54/55 go between 75,000 to 90,000 miles. Maybe 5% make it past 105,000 miles. Mine went at 108,000 miles. I have seen owners on this forum say they have gone 130,000 miles or more.

So, if a water pump, on an N54/55, goes before 75,000 miles I'd say it's in about a 15% category.
