I've been seeing what looks to be a coolant leak (dark greenish fluid) and from other posts sounds like a failing water pump. Do I change the thermostat and coolant temp sensor all at once ? CMS has 64K on it.
You only need to change the thermostat and temp sensor if they are actually failed as they are on the other side of the engine so the labor doesn't overlap.
i've had mine done twice. from what i understand the housing for the pump is made of plastic and cracks with rapid heating and cooling. if the dealer replaces yours they will probably do so with the plastic one again.
Replace the water pump if it's leaking. We have them here. Genuine or OEM supplier is recommended. Be sure to use MINI coolant HERE 50/50 mixed with distilled water.

What year do you have ? Yes I would do the Waterpump and the thermo at the same time.
