@samcrac Hey Sam I had the same problem on my salvage i8 it took 3 flushes and the recommended bleeding procedure in the manual. For evry two minutes after the engine starts you have to rev to 3500 rpm for 5 seconds and rest for 10 then repeat that 4 times until you hit a total time of 16 minutes. Now repeat the entire thing exepect at 5500 rpm until ur total time is 18 min. Then at 18 min do it one last time to 5500 rpm then take a test drive in sport mode. After three times of doing this it solved my problem

I found this "For the bleeding of the high-temperature cooling circuit proceed in the same way as the procedure for conventional vehicles. However, unlike in the low-temperature cooling circuit, the bleeding procedure does not end automatically, but must be independently completed by a Service employee. 1 Evacuate and fill cooling system using vacuum filling device. Remove the vacuum filling device after the filling procedure is completed. 2 When the expansion tank is open, open the bleeder screw for 20 seconds. 3 Close the bleeder screw and expansion tank again. 4 Terminal 15 ON, set IHKA controls to 28 °C / 82 °F at blower speed 1 and "Air conditioning OFF". 5 Press the accelerator pedal for about 20 seconds at full load (engine OFF). 6 Start combustion engine in selector lever position "P" with Automatic Hold brake engaged. 7 Increase engine speed using accelerator pedal 4 times for about 5 to 10 seconds to roughly 3500 rpm, with a 10 second interval between the respective engine speed increases. Repeat procedure every 2 minutes for about 16 to 18 minutes. 8 Increase engine speed using accelerator pedal 4 times for about 5 to 10 seconds to roughly 5500 rpm, with a 10 second interval between the respective engine speed increases. 9 After 20 minutes carry out a test drive in selector lever position "S" and with heating turned on fully. 10 The ventilation is completed as soon as hot air flows continuously from the air outlets. 11 Adapt coolant in the cooled down state to MAX filling level" hope it helps!

Pretty sure these have a coolant switching valve. That, and a special bleed mode for it. I'd suggest checking this valve and seeing if it is stuck or broken. I think you're right on the money with the cold reservior - there was some pressure, but no flow. Also, some modern BMWs have an electric auxillary coolant pump, may be worth checking into that too.

By now he might have solved the problem.

I had a 97 f250 7.3L diesel doing the same thing I never figured it out but from what my uncle told me at the time is a cylinder wall can form a small crack and cause the pressure build up in the cooling system and if you think about it cars don't build up pressure till the thermostat opens put I would definitely be checking out all the connections to make sure nothing is reversed plus check for any blockage by removing the thermostat & connecting a garden hose with pressure then start at the over fill return line and work your way back

Have you tested the actual temp sensor. And have you taken a temp gun to check the temperature of the engine, hoses, and radiator? Also check the engine oil temperature as that will reflect over temperature of the cooling system as well, nice car and deal by the way!!

Many years ago, I went through a similar problem with the Mitsubishi Starion. The thermostat kept showing that the car was running extremely hot. After exhausting all possibilities, including water pump, thermostat, and a fan clutch, to no avail, I finally realized that the only indication that the car was about to explode was the gauge, no other steam, or drainage anywhere. Several mechanics and dealerships later, I found one man that told me it could be a blown capacitor on the gauge. Indeed, it was, the car was never overheating, and a $25 replacement part finally took care of the problem.

I’d definitely be going for a check of the coolant temp sensor values using a decent scan tool. Bimmerlink would be ideal. Or while your in there doing the thermostat fit new temp sensors too.

Milky residue under the oil cap most of the time caused by short trips before the oil gets warmed up. If it's possible, check and make sure coolant is circulating and purge the air out of system. Check all coolant lines and make sure they are also clear. Try running the Ac and make sure the fans are running. They automatically turn on with the Ac on high.

Have you tried running fluids through the system put some through the top hose and disconnect the bottom engine house and see if it's flowing through freely

I think it is thermostat. Merry Christmas Greeting from the Nederlands🎄

Stuck thermostat or blocked radiator, Snapped water pump. My bad it's a BMW even if you fix it, it'll break down again.

that's why you follow the Hoovies mantra leave one thing broken and you won't have any more problems. Then again its a modern BMW they come from the factory broken

Nice find. Good show

Is there a secondary water pump that pumps the coolant from the front to the rear of the car? If so, maybe it's not pushing fluid through the radiator to cool. Curious to see what you find!

You are wrong Sam, on modern BMWs the dipstick is right between the seat and steering wheel

Love it!

With your comment on no coolant circulation and eliminating the thermostat as a possible root cause, one possible suspect is that there may be a sand casting core that has broken loose in the engine and blocked one of the coolant passage ways. (The casting core when the engine block/head was manufactured.) Pressurizing the inlet side and the alternate pressurizing the outlet side of the 2 hoses going to the radiator with air might help to confirm this possible diagnosis.

Dude that promo had me hooked! Nice

You got this one Sam! I can't wait to see it running and having a drag race with Rich!!

That sounds like a coolant line blockage more than a thermostat issue. The thermostat has almost certainly been replaced (jumper it or remove and/or replace to see what happens but probably not the issue). I'd take a look at where your temp sensor is complaining and check the flow around that area. Hopefully it's not a blockage in the engine block...
