How to fix engine overheating in the BMW 6 Series?

I recently noticed that the temperature gauge on my BMW 6 Series is climbing higher than normal and the engine seems to be overheating. What could be causing this issue and what steps should I take to fix it?

First, check the coolant level and make sure it is at the proper level. If it is low, top it off and monitor the gauge to see if the issue persists. If the coolant level is fine, it could be a faulty thermostat or a clogged radiator. Have a mechanic check these components and replace them if necessary.

Another possibility could be a malfunctioning water pump. This can cause the coolant to not circulate properly and lead to overheating. Again, have a professional diagnose and replace the water pump if needed.
