MY SISTER ALSO HAS BMW 2008 3 SERIES AND SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER YESTERDAY---STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD--WATER PUMP HAD TO BE CHANGED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED HE IS TOWING BMW'S ALL THE TIME WITH MALFUNCTIONING WATER PUMPS. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO STRANDED DRIVERS. *TR
