BTW, here's another thread opened today where, as usual, overheating is the first major symptom - yet - folks concentrate on bleeding - in the hopes that the air in the system is what's causing it to overheat.
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > 2001 525i Overheating

So that others have the bleeding information, I added these PDFs from the bestlinks to that thread:
