What causes the engine to overheat in the BMW X3?

I have a BMW X3 and recently noticed my engine temperature rising to dangerous levels. I've checked the coolant and it seems to be at the proper level. What could be causing this issue?

Emily, it sounds like your radiator fan may not be working properly. This is a common issue in BMW X3s and can cause the engine to overheat. I suggest taking your car to a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Hi Emily, another common cause of engine overheating in the BMW X3 is a faulty thermostat. This can cause the engine to work harder and generate more heat than necessary. I recommend getting this checked out by a professional.
