> [@JonathanLe](#): > > coolant leaks on passenger side, possible water pump. car currently has 35K miles If not under warranty then you need to find a Euro Shop or BMW specialist mechanic to work on your BMW… If you want to own a BMW or any luxury Euro vehicle, it comes with at a cost that goes much deeper then just the purchase price… I am guessing that you have the 2.0 turbo gas XDrive version since you gave no other specs as to what you are driving… That water pump is about a 8.7 hour job for a pro mechanic with a lift and proper tools, I would not want to mess with it much else recommend a DIYer to even think about trying, and I am sure it probably takes a few special tools as well… ---

> [@davesmopar](#): > > That [BMW] water pump is about a 8.7 hour job for a pro mechanic with a lift and proper tools, 8.7 hours? For a water pump replacement? Wow! And I thought replacing my Corolla’s water pump was an overly time consuming chore. 4 hours, diy’er doing job w/o lift, in driveway. ---

Your Corolla vs that BMW is about a big of difference as the space shuttle is from a horse drawn log wagon… lol Again, a lot of shops refuse to work on Euro models for a reason…
