So my 335 just had its water pump replaced in june this year and now it's dead again!! good thing it was raining and outside temp was 8C so i was able to drive home, otherwise once again stranded on the street. What is going on with BMWs these days??

Sure its been replaced with a new unit (not rebuilt)? Tstat replaced at the same time?

It wouldnt go bad that fast unless it was neglected(low coolant)

did you replace your Tstat while you did the pump?

I had my water pump replaced recently too, but not the Tstat! should I?

I am pretty sure the pump is not made by BMW.
So, what the heck is going on with the 3rd party providing the pumps??
