M235i overheating at idle
So everyday I drive about 12 miles for my daily commute and the past 2 days when I get to my destination about 3-5 minutes of idling I get engine temp to high to drive cautiously. If I leave it in for about another 60 seconds I get the red engine over heat shut off. Only happened when I was stationary any thoughts?
I drive a 2015 m235i manual with vrsf charge pipes and muffler bypass |

Water pump or fan is dead or dying. You need to get this fixed ASAP and probably shouldn't be driving. You don't want to warp that $6K cylinder head.

okay, but the AC works only when moving if i'm stopped or almost stopped it finishes the last little bit of cold air and then it blows room temp air out. and still have not heard the fans kick on higher than usual.

[QUOTE=jb-slow;24851921]My fans were screaming when my pump died, surprisingly it never over heated, just went in and out of limp mode
how many miles when your pump failed? my N54 pump failed at about 75k and I have 44k on my 235.

You can check your fan by turning your AC on. When the AC kicks in the fan should turn on (open hood and see if it's turning). Otherwise it is likely your water pump.

Car has already gone into bmw, they quoted me $12,000 to fix the fans and they suggested a new trans. Took it home and looked at it my self and the relay switch was bad. $33 to fix my overheating issues. I ordered a new fan also and tested it in pair with the original and the original fan was in good condition still. Getting my trans looked at 3rd party since I’m out warranty anyways.
