I guess since God created the universe I've never replaced them on this particular car.

sounds like your water pump bearing...........,the engine sounds OK, that thud thud sound is alitte concerning, I had my 4.6 rebuilt [2 years about] if the timing rails went You would know it, there is a guy in NJ Motor Works West in Wycoff they are a good IDY.

As I said before. I will follow that old school maintanence schedule by Mike Miller.
1. Belt tensioner-11287549588 $55,
2. Deflection pulley-11287549557 $27,
3. Belt tensioner for A/C-11287549589 $58
4. 2 fan belts.
I always replace the water pump and thermostat with BMW Coolant, fuel filter every 60K miles. I use RealOEM web site to get my parts #. Happy New Year.
