Cheap Bimmer 93 318I 5speed

Previous owner took it to a shop which told him he needed a new waterpump that’s how I know. It’s got 200k+ and I’m located in cohoes… And I don’t think it’s a overheat issue either because he drove it from Brunswick to my house in cohoes with no issues. I think it’s a bearing in the waterpump issue. Ill look at it this weekend and get a better idea for u guys.
