T-stat should fail-open, so if the thermostat fail, the engine will run colder.
So yeah, seems to be the pump or a sensor.
try the air bleeding procedure, and listen to stange noise from the pump, or see if it even runs.
edit : do you have enough coolant? might be a simple 1st step to bleed the system...

i opened the reservoir yesterday, the coolant level is higher than the max label.
i'll do the bleed procedure as suggested after work.
just to add, many 2011 x3 owners had low coolant level (there's a thread about it) at some point of their ownership. the plant did not fill enough coolant. i always wondered if that lessened the life span of the original pump. but the second failure that im having is totally out of the blue, i kinda wish that it is DOA so i can get the parts replaced under warranty. i just have to chalk up the labour cost again..
