I would STRONGLY recommend you to buy ONLY a BMW stamped WP. I learned my lesson the hard way and want to help you avoid my mistakes. The main thing that fails in electric water pumps is the electronics, and the ones not stamped with a BMW logo often have these issues.
Pros: reliable, avoids electronics issues
I just had the alternator (bearing went bad) and water pump changed (coolant leaking through the weep hole). Still the original block.
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
Mileage: 102000 km
In the 11000 or so km i have driven the vehicle i have already had 1) Water pump replacement, 2) Front engine cover slow leak ( awaiting parts on backorder) & 2 inspections covered under warranty.
Pros: warranty covered repairs
Cons: slow leak, parts backorder
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 11000 km
Buy the M340i new and prepay your services. Great on gas but insurances and tires have been expensive. Water pump blew at 48k.
Pros: great on gas
Cons: expensive tires, high insurance
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 77249 km
they slapped the fucking water pump behind the timing cover ?? Just go German engineering and make an electric water pump so you aren’t doing a chain service to do a water pump.
Cons: poor water pump placement, expensive repair
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
the only thing that’s had any problems is a water pump
Cons: had problems
Vehicle:
Ford
Here’s my experience with the 2019 for what it’s worth:
Bought a 2019 with 5.0, xlt with 20k miles for $41k in Aug 2022.
-Water pump and vct’s replaced at 50k miles.
-New engine at 98k miles due to oil consumption (2 dealerships and 4 months later). Replaced in Aug of 2024
-102k miles the trans started acting funny, fully grenading at 112k miles. Replaced Feb of 2025
-126k miles and the transmission cooler fails midway through a 3hour trip with the pop up camper and family in tow.
Cons: transmission cooler fails
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 50000 km
The water pump was defective as well upon diagnostic. Leak in coolant as well. 2022 with 20k miles.
Cons: defective, coolant leak
Vehicle:
Ford Bronco
Mileage: 20000 km
