X5d 2012 - Low Coolant

First week with the truck, been driving without codes, last night Engine Coolant Low light came on, I got home and mixed 50/50 with BMW coolant and was surprized it took almost half a gallon ... Next morning dropped it off to stealer to check for any leaks ... he calls back today and there's water pump on the order .... WHAT REALLY ??? The thing has 25xxx miles & the water pump is bad or leaking ? Sounds fishy, anyone else on here had a waterpump go out at this mileage ?

Good thing its under warranty eh? I havent had any issues with mine, sounds like the water pump went out and the coolant wasnt being circulated through the engine and boiled off.
If i'm not mistaken the water pump is electric, so that's probably more prone to failure than a mechanical one.

Dealer ran pressure test and found leaky water pump - replaced, pressure test again, no leaks ... I pay $0, but v disappointed at this happening at 26k miles
