Had a number of water pumps fail on me, including a water pump fly wheel that became detached (broke at retaining point with pump shaft) on a Boxster S at around 75mph. No coolant spilling, just instant high temp. Fly wheel flung around the engine. Horrendous noise, but fortunately limited collateral damage, other than to the wallet. What was your failure point, water pump gasket or housing? Just curious as an owner of a 2016 BMW 328i (manual trans) rear wheel drive. 61K on it so far and all good!
Based on suggested expected lifetime, thinking I should be proactive, as in before 100K. Anyone else had BMWs with water pump failures?
