water pump failure

Can hear water pump grinding on cold start up so expect it will have to be changed. This will be the second in under a year and less than 60k miles. car is 2005 330i. questions are why pump failure in the first place, second what are alternatives to OEM replacement. third, does so called "lifetime" coolant contribute to failures?
