a. 2006 330i manual
b. Failed on highway on 90 degree day. Somewhere around 114k miles. Got the dash warning to stop running the car. Pulled over, let it set for about 10 minutes while I investigated online. Turned off AC, opened the windows and ran the heat to cool the coolant more than normal. Made it the 30 miles home at normal highway speed in this condition with no more dash warnings after resetting.
c. Parts were $336.82 including water pump, thermostat, BMW coolant, and new bolts.
d. Replaced myself
e. Luckily no other damage. Car still runs great!
f. I do track my car, but not before this. I have only owned it since 100k miles, so no idea how it was treated beforehand.
