What causes early water pump failure in BMW 2 Series vehicles in Pakistan?

I had to replace the water pump on my BMW 218i just after 50,000 km. Is this normal? Could poor coolant quality, heat, o r local road conditions in Pakistan be contributing to early failure?

Several factors can cause premature failure of the water pump in Pakistan:

Poor-quality coolant o r mixing of different types damages seals and bearings.

Extreme heat puts continuous strain on the pump motor.

Dirty roads and dusty conditions can affect cooling system performance.

Delayed coolant changes — BMW recommends changing coolant every 3–4 years.

Always use BMW-approved coolant G48 o r G13 equivalent.
Avoid tap water in coolant mixtures always use distilled water to prevent corrosion and scale.
