The pump blew out while I was on the road. It seemed like I caught it in time, as the heavy knocking made me pull over. Just as I pulled to the right, it stalled out on me. Aboutt 10 seconds later, did the pump blow out and coolant leaked out.

Just short of a H gasket, etc, I did not want any muss or fuss so I had it towed to the dealership, since they could pull codes, etc. I intentionally did not mention the 3rd party since I wanted their response about goodwill warranty replacement before asking or approving of any work done

I do understand that the profit margins would prob be less if covered under BMW NA, and they did change their tune when I sent my info for the labor portion of the repair......I was not sure if they were going to *stand* by the customer or just go for the more profit repair.
