just finding my feet
jim water pump on a bmw means overheating,,, i know MINE done that and it was due to the wanky plastic blades giving up and no longer spinning thus not pumping water round
what was the bill you paied for a pump ?
the upgraded METAL blade pump is 40 qiud from euros
you sure it wasnt just a gasket leaking ?

if its a 97 or before you could have the plastic blade version. I have just changed mine and the thermostat pre a trip to the ring *just* in case it failed in service.
All good maintenance on a BM.
