Temperature problems on BMW 3 Series Gasoline

Hello everyone, I own a 2000 BMW 3 series with a gasoline engine and 186,000 km. I've noticed that the automatic climate control is no longer working. Additionally, when the engine is off and cold, the coolant temperature gauge rises into the red, despite replacing the thermostat and temperature sensor. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have any suggestions on what might be the cause? Thanks in advance for your help!

Despite replacing the thermostat and temperature sensor, the problem persists. A suggestion was made to inspect the coolant temperature gauge wiring and connections for damage or corrosion, as a faulty ground or short circuit might be causing the inaccurate readings.
