Water Pump failed at 55,000 miles (2007 328 wagon)
Mine failed 5,000 miles over the warranty (i.e. at 55,000 miles). The dealership as well as BMW North America were not willing to discuss any contribution towards the repair; instead, the dealer wanted $1,400 for pump, thermostat and coolant!! Checked with an independent BMW mechanic and his price was considerably less: $1,000!
The dealer professed to know nothing about premature water pump failures for the 328 that are being discussed all over the internet. Looks like the days of goodwill via a contribution for a premature part failure are gone!!!
My only recourse is to forego future repairs at this dealer.
