Yes. There could be several reasons for engine to overheat.
There are a few things that could be causing your 200 BMW 528i to overheat. You may not have the correct mixture of coolant in the vehicle. The problem could also be your thermostat. Have the thermostat checked out to ensure that it is working as it should.
I had the same problem with my 1996 Cadillac SLS. Had it diagnosed at a dealer, said head bolts are "lifting", a common problem with Northstar engines. Dealer could not guarantee a fix. I found a 100% success rate fix on the internet. Try looking for "Northstar Engine Head Bolt Repair Kit" on the web. Here is a retired tool and die maker who had the same problem, and made longer head bolts than the factory bolts. Pretty inexpensive, but the labor to pull your motor, heads, machine shop, etc, could be several thousands.
Your thermostat could be malfunctioning - replace it. Your radiator could becoming plugged - flush it.
The Taurus could overheat for several reasons. The coolant could be low, the fan might not be operating properly, or the engine could have a stuck thermostat.
A lot of things could be causing that. First did you check your coolant?

Thermostats determine when antifreeze enters the main cooling system. If the thermostat isn't working correctly, the antifreeze could enter the engine to late, (or not at all) resulting in an over heating engine. Another problem of having antifreeze enter the engine late, is that if your engine is very hot, possibly a little warmer than common, when the antifreeze enters the engine, the cold fluid could cause the engine block to cool down quickly, causing a cracked engine block.
Coolant could be low, causing the engine to overheat. There are also a number of things that could cause overheating and the engine to shut off. Plus the ford tempo was an unsound car from the get go/
Probably would be in your best interest to check the head gaskets.
