I don't know of a way to tell without removing the pump. I'd be surprised if the original water pump lasted 125k, especially since your radiator was replaced.
It's not a horrible job to replace it. I've found the car easy to work on, and I have pretty basic mechanical skills. Based on my experience, I'd replace the pump. Might as well do belts, hoses, and thermostat while you're there. If your car has the plastic thermostat housing, replace it with an aluminum one.
Oh, and I love the 318ti. I had one as a loaner back when they were new and I wanted to buy one. Never sold very well, from what I remember. Enjoy it!
