Edit: Guys, what's going on with this E36. I mean, it looks clean and it's Dinan supercharged, but seriously...$33k? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5957220934.htmlLast edited by jpod999; 01-13-2017, 05:21 PM.

New water pump and thermostat, flushed radiator, used my special "AirLift" tool to remove all the air from the system, Still.... steam and overheating.
Any ideas... plugged heater core or control valve trapping air in the system?

Also check radiator return bleed hose for flow. If it's not returning to the bottle you have a restriction on radiator or expansion tank and that can also cause overheating'88 M3.2 S54 Lachssilber/Black

I have the front of the car up on stands, open the bleed screw and just get air (steam) until she overheats and blows coolant out of the expansion tank.
No pressure in the cooling system until the engine gets hot, no coolant flow to the lower radiator hose even with a new thermostat (cold hose), at least it doesn't look like I have flow??
Again, new water pump and thermostat.
Sorry, forgot the bleed hose is is OK, not plugged1988 325 non-letter Seta "Bronzit"

Open bleed screw and fill coolant bottle until in comes out of screw. Possibly need to remove thermostat and drill tiny bleed hole at top of it to aid in flow and bleeding. Might just have large air pocket trapped at water pump. Should have steady coolant flow from bleed screw!'88 M3.2 S54 Lachssilber/Black
