For me the fan was not turning on and the car got hot. In the meantime, I would turn the a/c on to get the other fan to kick in and the motor would cool off.
I got tired of doing that and I asked my dear old dad to help. This is what he did:
My 83 year father figured it out without spending a dime. (Ford dealer wanted $95 dollars just to look at it!)
#1 Look at the fan shroud and locate the sensor that goes into the shroud. Remove the sensor from the shroud and and disconnect it from each other.
#2 Clean the inside of the connectors. Mine were filthy.
#3 Put back together.
Ford should know this already. My father was in disbelief on why the connection was'nt better protected.

Your BMW 520 is overheating what could it be?
Waterpump, thermostat, radiator, radiator hoses.
If you are replacing a water pump will this stop a car from overheating?
Replacing a bad water pump can help to stop a motor from overheating. Hopefully that was the cause of the overheating. If it does not stop the overheating, try replacing the thermostat. Make sure you have the proper mix of antifreeze and water, the radiator filled with it. Check the level of coolant FIRST. Next, the hoses, and third the thermostat. Then, disconnect a hose and see if, by starting the vehicle, if there's water pressure. If not, its water pump time!
