Best Water Pump/thermostat DIY for xdrive35i

Anyone have a recommendation for their preferred Water Pump/thermostat DIY. I can more or less figure it out but the E90 DIY isn’t quite the same from what I’m seeing down there. I’d love to see something specific to the E84 just for clarity.

Garage List
FTP Euro OE kit, Continental pump wagner thermo, free replacement warranty forever

buy all the hoses norma hose clamps cylinder head billet hose fitting replace that hose now "Rein" hose, clamps etc replace everything in site now while its apart antifreeze blue bmw also at orielly blue but it 50 50 , bmw fulll strength and gallons of distilled water for rad.
its a big mess, swollen hoses r ready to fail, age and heat kill them,

check idler pulleys bearings with stethiscope before begining, if higher mileage bearings will be squalling belt and

pulley service kit also, pull radiator fan lots more room to work

degrease front of engine before hand to check for oil leaks

bleed air from hoses as per bmw procedure before start up charge your battery before also and disconnect battery cable too

Thanks to you both. Noche that video is good. Thank you. I started down a similar road as what that guy did so I feel good about that. I got everything out yesterday; now just have to get it all back in.

I got it all buttoned you tonight; it was such tight working space and those quick connect hoses with the metal holders were a real pain. Made me appreciate my 996 all that much more. I think I’ll write up my own DIY because I think extra intel might not be a bad thing for X1 owners on this project.

It felt good to get back behind the wheel of my car- it’s so different from my 996- effortlessly quick, quiet, but still fun in its own right.

At what mileage did your water pump fail?

Mine didn't fail, but after reading all the horror stories of them being prone to failure, I decided to preemptively put in a new pump and thermostat at 94k miles.

Mine was at just over 103,000; I bought the car with 100,000 and was going to do it after the winter. Didnt quite make it so cold garage it was.

I’ve heard you can get a pump that has a metal impeller, but I haven’t done any research.
