Is it a lot easier to replace the water pump once you have the motor mount off ?

My water pump is not giving me any problems, no noise, no leaks nada....but my Bavarian Beauty just turned over 70 K miles and well...should I or wait for problems ??

Thanks

It makes no difference if the motor mount is on or off
You write "my Bavarian Beauty" did you accidentally buy a BMW and think it's a Porsche? Porsches are not from Bavaria. Hint: if the engine is up front it's actually a BMW ;-)

I do have a E36 with 147K on the Odo and it is one of the best cars ....if not the best car I have ever owned

PS I appreciate the info on the water pump.
