Of course its something that WILL fail.
Take a look at this thread, the poll, and responses.
IMO the waterpump is usually good for 70k to 100k. YMMV.
I had an e91 that failed at 89k (Original PUMP/TS), but my current e90 just recently failed and it failed at 137k (Original PUMP/TS).
I wanted to change the e90's wp/ts out at 130k as it looked like I was on borrowed time until failure, but surprisingly I had the parts but was too lazy to do it. At 137k, boom. Failure. Tow. Lucky I had AAA and the parts were already purchased and sitting in my garage. 5 hours later, I'm back on the road and should be worry free of my waterpump/thermostat for at least another 70k to 100k.
