Changed water pump changed thermostat flushed out radiator still over heats?
Idle the car till it reaches normal temparature and see if the cooling fan clutch engages. If it isn't working, the fan will not start spinning or if it's slipping, only be spinning slowly. This will certainly result in overheating you described.

If you've got the hydraulic fan, check to see that the solenoid at the power steering pump is plugged in. My 1993 3.0 had this happpen, and that's what was wrong. You have to pull the front passenger side wheel off to access the pump. Just stick your hand up in there and feel around. You'll find it. One way to check is to let the car idle and turn the a/c on full blast. You should hear the fan start to roar after a few seconds. If it doesn't, then check the solenoid wire. Worked for me!

Where is the water pump on 94 BMW 318, Is it behind the Fan or a seperate unit. is it easy to replace?

sounds like a head gasket problem. A minor leak there will pump compression into coolant and force it out of heater core. Any unusual steaming from tail pipe? Also: if radiator was flushed "in car" sometimes debris does not come out. Try flushing with it out of the vehicle. Jeep radiators are notoriously small for their application if not at at least 90% they will not work correctly.I'd look at the hg first though otherwise, your symptoms seem to be contradictory.
we have a 2003 and it did the very same thing . Its called cooling fan relay it costs about 60.00 and is located behind the headlight assembly . not very hard to fix if you know anything about cars .

If the head and gasket are good, and hoses not blocked, and the coolant pump is good and the rad is not blocked, all sensors and thermostats good, then it could be the heater core.
If you can bypass this during summer, it may help. The heater core is like a very small radiator, and often they get blocked up. This can restrict the collant getting around the engine properly, and cause overheating. If you leave this bypassed, you won't get hot air blowing into your cab during winter with the heater on --------- hey, who cares right now when it's summer!
