In the midst of installing a new water pump, in my wife's 1992 325i, I applied what I thought was the correct torque, 17ft/lbs according to the Bentley manual, to two of the nuts. This resulted in the second "bolt" not sure what the proper term is, shearing off!

Now what do I do????

Well I would start by taking the water pump out and trying to grab the sheared off bolt with a vicegrip or something. You may have to drill and either use EZ outs to remove the bolt or just retap new threads
