For the radio I would suggest checking the fuse For the overheating the most common reason is the thermostat in the cooling system. They wear out over time and sometimes get stuck in the closed position. The next time it does it park the vehicle somewhere safe, Turn OFF the engine and open the bonnet. **Be careful with this next suggestion as you will be touching something VERY HOT.** Look for the large black hose going into the top of the radiator. CAREFULLY touch ONLY the hose. If the thermostat is working it should be VERY hot! If it is only slightly warm get the thermostat changed.

Check exhaust smoke color when engine hot. If there is white smoke, there may be oil in the pipes. Means the valve seal is leaking oil into the cylinder. Another way to check is to look at the spark plug tips. If is full of soot like burnt oil then the oil is leaking into the cylinders. If yours is E60 turbo, check the presence of residue oil in both the exhaust and intake turbine. If there is, the oil seals in the turbo housing is leaking oil. They do sell service kits for turbos.

It is located on the right side of the trunk of the car, behind the trim panel.

Easiest way to locate your leak is a spray bottle with some soapy water. Raise and support the vehicle to where you can safely be under it. Run the car and get the suspension fully raised then spray all fittings in the system. Listen for leaks too. When you find a spot that creates lots of bubbles when you spray it, you have found the source of your leak.

If the vehicle isn't over heating and operating as it should, I wouldn't think you have a bad sensor. Possibly a bad bearing in the fan motor.

Swap the relays over. It is a BMW though, you need the Dealership!

Does the engine turn over, or all dead. Check for codes. It is a BMW though, so you need the dealership with their fancy laptop and BMW diagnostics software.

sadly most motors will smoke a bit
