155k miles. I've only owned the car since April, so I can't say specifically about coolant flushes. I do know the past owner kept the car in excellent condition though. I just got the car back from having deer damage repaired, see http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22952 for pics.

I only had the first problem with this overheating a day or so after the deer hit me. Aceyx theorizes perhaps the engine shifted with the impact and cracked something, I think this is plausible. Should I try to get my insurance company to cover it? How on earth would I prove it though?

The leak is right under this assembly. I'm not sure if that means waterpump or just a crack in that thermostat housing.
