How to fix engine overheating issue in my BMW?

My BMW's engine temperature gauge reaches the red zone every time I drive for a longer period of time. This has been happening quite frequently and I'm worried about the long-term effects on my car's engine. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It is likely that your car's cooling system is not functioning properly. You should check for any leaks or malfunctions in the radiator, hoses, or water pump. Also, make sure to regularly check the coolant level and replace it if necessary. If the issue persists, it could be due to a faulty thermostat or a clogged radiator.

I had a similar issue with my BMW and it turned out to be a faulty water pump. I would recommend getting it checked and replaced if needed.

In addition to checking the cooling system, make sure to also check the engine oil level. Low oil can cause overheating and damage to the engine. Also, avoid driving your car for long periods of time without giving it a break to cool down.
