Water Pump problems of the 2013 BMW X3

My 2013,_bmw X3 check engine light went on and I noticed power loss when it didn't drive over 40mph. I had the vehicle diagnostics done at my local BMW shop and they told me I have a bad timing chain and sprockets and gave me a bill in the thousands. I called BMW corporate and spoke to lori who is aware of the issue and said, an extended warranty was issued but that it expired in 2018. They offered me no other financial assistance because my car has 100,499 miles. So that's it a car dies at 100,000 miles and they can't help??? that's awful. There's so many complaints about this issue. My other 2007 BMW X3 huge problems too overheating, my motor mount bolt broke the engine dropped and broke the water pump. Garbage, garbage, garbage I will never buy BMW. Shame on BMW for not helping!!!! my Toyota went past 200,000 miles and it's still driving.

I have 3 parts in my vehicle that are now identified as needing replacement by my mechanic. I went to the mechanic after my vehicle went into "limp" mode while driving at 45mph in normal conditions and I received a message stating my vehicle was overheating. My mechanic advised that I need a new water pump, a new thermostat, and while it's not related, I also need a new oil housing gasket. It sounds like these are all common failures on these vehicles and my mechanic noted "it's not a matter of if these items will fail, but when". Moreover, one simple google search will tell you the same. If these parts are truly an issue, why are then not recalled? my car going into limp mode while driving on a highway should be considered a safety concern, particularly in populated metro areas with a toddler in the back seat. Unfortunately, to repair these 3 parts, I've been quoted $1500 for the repairs, which is absolutely ridiculous for a car that has 60,000 miles on it.

Engine overheat warning due to water pump issues. Just under 5 years of brand new purchase. See similar part has excessive complaints. . Read more...
