2000 528 bmw overheats after 10 minutes of driving why?

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.

I have a 2000 Chrysler LHS with the 3.5 engine. It began overheating and diagnostic code said it was the fan relay. Replaced, and continued to overheat. Water pump and radiator replaced less than 1 year...

Hello Lia, you did all the right things to fix it but there is some thing elise going on ,if your sure that ,thermostat is not in back wards and its not defective (they do get stuck )and fans are running on time the only thing left is the start of a head gasket ,eaven thoe coolant is clear and no coolant in oil, .did you purge all air out of motor, (no joke) you'll see 2 air purge valves on top of motor ,they look like brake bleeder valves,one on right side and one on left side traped air will cause over heating as well.
I really hope this helped you in some way .

Car is overheating when when driving for around 15 to 20 minutes. if car is thrown in neutral when driving the temperature drops immediately. thermostat has been replaced and system has been bled properly....

Is it overheating to the point of boiling over, or does the guage or light just come on? What i am suggesting is that maybe it's the heat sending unit, or temp. sensor that is faulty. If the thermostat is working, the water pump is working, the coolant isn't low, the fan cuts in and out, and the rad isn't plugged, i would almost say it has to be the sensor. Let me know.

2000 sebring. Overheats with air conditioning on.

I just had my coolant flushed and my radiator cooling fan replaced. The car was slightly overheating and would "gargle" in the coolant bowl after I turned the engine off. It turned out to be the radiator was clogged up on one side.

I went full tilt and replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap and timing belt. I have 85,000 miles on the car and it was about time to do these things anyway. It is running like a new car now.
