Sorry, I thought this may be of interest to you as it should be with anyone with overheating issues. Overheating is the worst thing you can do to your engine and can ruin your engine in a matter of minutes costing you thousands.
I have this device install in my 540i and it works as good as it says it does. It makes you engine impossible to overheat, thus protecting you engine from major repair forever. I drained my coolant and ran my engine until it kicked in and stopped my engine after 60 seconds of audible and visual alarms. It f--n works. Otherwise you could end up like the guy in this article.

Anyway, back to your problem, see if you have a bleeder screw next to your coolant filler cap. Undo the bleeder screw (small plug with a cross for a slot screwdriver). Add coolant only when cold and only on a flat surface until it comes out the hole with no bubbles. Screw on both caps and you should be good. Sometimes your radiator passages can be clogged (if it is not new) and they need to "rodded" out by a radiator shop. The get fouled from the bottom up and will slowly reduce the effectiveness of your radiator. One thing, never use tap water with your coolant. It is full of dissolved minerals and overtime with clog all your water passages. Use any kind of filtered water. Evian if your anal.
