I replaced some hoses up to it because they didn't look to kosher. But thats just me, luckily after 12 years im still on original pump but i'm sure its due to fail at some time.

How many miles has your car covered?

Mine is still going at 120k
Although I’m not sure if it was changed before I owned it 7 years ago at 60k

No, it's hard to tell if you don't have the full history of the car.

My 1st E86 needed one at 9 years and 60K miles, and my E91 325i (also N52 engine) needed one at 12 years and 135K miles - but that may have been its 2nd!
