Why is my BMW 4 Series engine overheating?

I recently noticed that my BMW 4 Series engine has been overheating more frequently than usual. What could be causing this issue and how can I prevent it?

First and foremost, check your coolant levels as low levels can cause your engine to overheat. You should also have your radiator and cooling system checked for any leaks or clogs that could be causing overheating.

Another common cause of engine overheating in BMW 4 Series vehicles is a faulty thermostat. If your thermostat is not opening and closing properly, it can prevent the coolant from flowing through the engine and causing overheating.

It's important to also check your oil levels and make sure they are at the correct level. Low oil levels can lead to friction and heat buildup in the engine, causing overheating.
