My 330i started throwing codes around 135k. Replaced it for peace of mind and it turned out to be the original. I’ve heard somewhere that the water pump used in the 2006 325 and 330i is a bit different and lasts longer

Had a friend rebuild his 22RE, guy ordered his parts from eBay. Parts to replace which I believe is a must, water pump, t-stat, oil pump, timing chain and tensioner.
Pros: parts are a must
I replaced my water pump at about 205K miles. I had seen someone on e90post mentioning he saw fault codes before his pump failed. I decided I could wait if I kept a close eye. At about 205K miles was when I saw a fault code via ISTA/D. It mentioned something about "...water pump speed deviation..."
Pros: kept a close eye
Cons: water pump speed deviation
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 330000 km
That looks like the water pump but I can be wrong. Also, there is no dipstick for the transmission anymore. Depending on the engine, there is a drain bolt on the side of the transmission on the driver side I believe near the drivetrain.
How many miles do you have? Its probably time to change the water pump if it's making noise and if it is, it needs to be replaced before it causes a whole world of hurt to your wallet.
Cons: making noise
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Yup that's how my Z3 once tried to kill me. Doing 90kph on the off ramp and the ol water pump decided to retire. In the process dousing my rear wheels in coolant.
Cons: rear wheels in coolant
Vehicle:
BMW Z3
OEM. Went aftermarket 2 times in a year replacing that pump. Finally bit the bullet and paid for toyota part.
Pros: Toyota part
Cons: aftermarket failed
