2011 BMW 535XI  [8.00]
Engine Overheating

Hi everyone,

I drive a 2011 535xi with around 90k miles. I recently did OFHG and Valve cover around 800-1k miles ago.

Today I driving and I got a strange sound from the engine bay it was like a fan sound very muffled but loud when I opened the bay. I received the yellow alert saying temp hot drive moderate so I stopped pulled over added some coolant and then started driving then I started again and received a yellow then red saying pull over and was in limp mode. When I popped the hood the fan was going crazy I could feel air flying in.This was all within a 15 min drive.


Does anyone know what this could be? Let me know if any more details are needed. I am not experienced and would love any advice. Thank you all!!!!

Also I have a video of the sound but I’m not sure how to upload it if anyone has advice there.
