I am curious, did you change your water pump yourself?

Doesn?t anyone have a nice TIS sheet on this operation?

Are these directions much different than what is required to replace the water pump on my 2007 530? It is not acting up, but I considering a preventative replacement. I have 115,000 miles and don't know if I should expect a water pump failure?

Thanks!
