Water pump took about 5 hours with a friend's help. About 290 minutes of that was just gaining access to the pump (in typical BMW fashion)

Also wanted to quote this... I now believe the coolant leak that caused the low coolant level was due to the water pump bearings beginning to fail. There were signs of some weepage from the pump so had I been more vigilant I may have been able to prevent the failure altogether
