I wanted to get your thoughts on the following symptoms I experienced tonight. I drive a 2007 335i e92 6MT currently with 68k miles, and I had the water pump and thermostat changed 2 months / 5k miles ago with Tischer's waterpump kit, as preventative since I knew I would be driving a lot this year.

It was about 60F degrees out and I had been driving on the freeway for about 30 minutes at a cruising speed when all of a sudden, I couldn't accelerate past 70mph anymore or go pass 2.5k rpm. The engine radiator fan kicks it to max speed and is very loud now. I notice that my oil temp gauge says I'm at about 170F when my normal operating temperature is usually 220-240. No lights or warning messages are going off on the dash or I-drive.

I don't have a BT tool to scan for codes either...

Any thoughts on this? Could it be the water pump failing already?

Thermostat again possibly. Had a similar thing happen to me. I took my car to my buddy who's an SA and had his tech check, they replaced my thermostat for me. Weird because I had it replaced like 3 months prior.
