Been going through some old post and N52 Water pump issues mentioned alot, kicking in
at around the 60K mark.
I am approaching 54K, should i start to be getting concerned and keeping an eye on it?
Did a search, does not throw up any real issues for E89's unless i have missed something.

Different , later design of engine…no evidence I saw of an endemic failure point…so I’d run it till it fails…and/or wait till 80k ish miles and do the thermostat and accessory belt at the same time…
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I see this weather testing a few car cooling systems
The sound of fans running on.

My car 96k miles, no cooling issues.
Can understand that hotter climates probably put a strain on plastic components.
Did notice air con pump is noisy though, noticed as i rarely use it.

That may have something to do with it.
Car a/c should be run for a good few minutes every month at least; keeps all the seals and internals lubricated.
Biggest cause of refrigerant leaks is lack of use.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
