I've never had a w/pump fail because i always replace them b4 they fail. This is my 4th bmw. I have heard too many stories where the pump fails and the car/truck over heats and warps the head or the fan blades go thru the radiator causing 2 very expensive repairs...so u can pay a lil now or a lot later...think about it because that w/pump will fail sooner or later.
