hate them. everything breaks. between 2 cars i have been thru 6 raditors 3 water pumps, a coolent tank,3 cluths, a p.s. pump, and now recently waiting on a water pump.

which btw is water cooled and is fucking an arm and a leg. and i have been waiting for it for about 3 weeks now.
You found BMW E39 weak point. Cooling system. Going through 3 clutches sounds like straight abuse.

A water cooled water pump? I can get a water pump from multple places locally in 1 day. Order offline and 10+ sites have them. Almost guaranteed
