My other BMW with an N52 is my 2006 E90. On a hot 100 deg. F day in July 2011 with 149,000 miles on the odo, the pump went out. It had been throwing codes since April 2011, but I didn't know what they meant; no one did back in 2011. In April 2008 BMW changed the P/N (ends in "925") of the pump with a revised design. Now at 367,000 on the E90, the replacement "925" pump has yet to throw a trouble code. At over 218,000 miles on it, the "925" pump has been the highest miles I've gotten out of any water pump, regardless of construction, I've had on any of my cars.

I suggest buying an OE/OEM pump from BMW/aftermarket.

My 2 cents on the subject.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
