2007 BMW 328i overheating again

Asked by jaspercarman Apr 22, 2019 at 07:05 PM about the 2007 BMW 3 Series 328i Sedan RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2007 bmw 328i is overheating again. It has ~80k miles, the water pump,
thermostat, and radiator hoses were all done about 7-8 months ago, seeming
to solve the problem. Happened again today while the ac was on high,
thermostat light came on in yellow then red, cutting power to the engine. I
could hear the fan running loud as it would be when something overheats,
waited a few minutes, then got it back on and drove the quarter mile back
home to get it out of the road. It was ok. But i'm wondering what it could be
since i've already done the pump t-stat and hoses?

If anyone seems to run into the same problem - it was in fact the water pump again. Apparently they can in fact die after less than 10k miles and 6 months drive time.
