153k miles on my original WP. Still going strong too.
Has 137,000 miles on it original water pump. Still good to be used but don’t know when she’ll crap out. Very impressed that I lasted this long.
I brought in my 2019 Audi A7 for an alternator recall. The car has 40k miles on it. While the car was in they found the water pump was leaking and said they replaced it under warranty along with the alternator.
Currently own a ‘15 S3 with 130k+ miles. Nothing really major to report for me outside of some known common issues with this generation (water pump, PODS, etc). Car has been great and honestly easy to maintain if you can DIY oil changes, brakes, and DSG fluid changes.
I've owned my 2013 535i M Sport since 2018 with 44k miles. Other than the regular maintenance items... 2021- oil filter canister gasket replacement -$ 800 ( I think. I can't find the receipt) 2024- passenger valve cover gasket- $660 Driver's door handle replacement -$250 2025- water pump and thermostat- $1750
I own a 2021 S5 with around 55k miles on it, bought it with around 50k miles on it. Only issue is that the water pump did fail and coolant migrated into the vacuum system which is a ridiculously common failure on these cars.
'21 RS6 with 37k miles. Got the same error late last month. Been in the shop for 3+ weeks for water pump & vacuum line replacement.
About a month ago, I kept getting the “Engine Coolant Too Hot — Pull over and let engine idle” error. It would literally come on for a split second then disappear. On one occasion, I noticed that the coolant was low so I topped it off. The error went away for about a week, then came back. This time, though, it remained on and the thermostat actually crept up. I dropped that thing off at the dealer so fast… four days later they tell me that the water pump has started to fail and that one of the solenoids had started leaking coolant.
I got lucky and found out my VIN was part of the class action lawsuit for water pumps, got that replaced for free.
I don't trust the BMW oem pumps any farther than you can throw them
