They are basically appliances, as John says. I'd pull the serpentine belt and check the water pump pulley for binding/play. The water pumps usually go around 100K or so.

If it's just the water pump, they can be changed rather easy, but you'll need a vacuum bleeder to purge the system of air. Porsche has a way to do this by hand, but it really doesn't work that well.

Stay FAR away from modern BMWs unless you want to lease one.
