R K., ON (2012 BMW X3 xDrive35i 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)"The electric water pump failed, resulting in the vehicle going into limp mode to prevent engine damage. I was not told by BMW why it failed other than it was tested and shown to not be working. It was replaced under extended warranty"
Gregory F., TX (2012 BMW X3 xDrive35i 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)"Water pumps on the x3 routinely fail before 50000 miles. Apparently a known problem for years. Difficult to access and very exoensive electric pump"
