Okay, so I have only had my 06 330i for a matter of months now and have had many issues with it. First off let me say I am new to this German car industry! After the weather got cold I had coolant light come on/ temperature light come on (yellow then red)/ check engine light come on/ then the heating on the inside of the car/ the car is in limp mode! I have added fluid to the reservoir 3 time when cold( but don't see any leaks) , is there no way to add to add coolant directly to the radiator... I've done a lot of research and talked to my mechanic and others I've heard ... Coolant leaking/ head gasket/ water pump/ thermostat/ Ect. PLEASE HELP ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY CAR!

Thanks
Jacob

You should not be losing coolant when the pump fails.

Do you see any smoke out the exhaust? Have you noted the color? Any smell to it?

Is your oil clean? Meaning is is milky?

If the overflow tank was run dry, you will need to bleed the coolant system. This may be the reason why it keeps overheating.
