Overheating in the BMW Z4 (2015) - experience and solutions wanted

Hello, I have a problem with my BMW Z4 (built in 2015, gasoline engine). The air conditioning only blows warm air and the car often overheats. I suspect that the electric fan is not working properly. Have any of you ever had a similar problem? How did you get it fixed at the garage and what was your experience? I would appreciate any advice and tips! Thanks in advance.

The coolant hose connector on my 2008 BMW 528xi wore out and the hose became disconnect and coolant leak out. After replacing the connect with a new one, I now get a message saying the engine temperature is high and the electric coolant pump, power-reduced operation (002E83) and the electronics-box fan, activation (002F71). I filled up the coolant and the low-level lights goes away but I hear the fan kick in like its trying to cool off the engine. What's going on and what cause the new issues after the connector was replaced?

Before replacing the temperature sensor, I filled the coolant tank completely again and the "coolant low" message went away, and I did not get the "engine temperature high" light again. The car was driving great for about 15 minutes with no warning messages--then all of a sudden the check engine light came on and I pulled over. I started driving again and, shortly after, while driving the car shifted to Neutral and when I tried to put it in drive again it kicked back to Neutral and car cut off. Had to get towed. Battery seems okay but car won't even try to start. What now?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a more serious issue, possibly related to the transmission or the electrical system. It's hard to diagnose without more information, but I would recommend having your car towed to a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection. This is not something you should try to fix yourself, especially since the car is not starting. Safety should always be your first priority.
