| We bought a certified pre-owned 2008 535xi in november 2010. it had 36,000 miles. at 59,000 miles while driving approximately 75 mph on a majory highway in long island after sitting in traffic for an hour and a half on a 70 degree day, the car just shut down. it would barely steer and would not accelerate. we were lucky that the brakes worked and were able to glide over to the shoulder. computer said engine overheated and it was the red indicator which is the worst. we got towed to a dealership and are told its the water pump. we did have the car serviced at a different dealership 4 days before this happened and told them about a clicking noise from the engine but they didn't hear it so nothing was done. the incident was very scary and makes me not want to drive the car anymore. | |||
