my bmw is leaking water and overheating

There are several reason for this water leak,
1) Loose water hose clamps
2) Water pump defective
3) Defective thermostat causing the water to be forced out the overflow jar
4) Radiator is leaking
5) Freeze plugs rusted out
6) Leaking head gaskets
Have it pressure tested at a radiator shop for the best answer but get two estimates. Good Luck and God Bless

The most frequent observations I made for that is the plastic part at the top of the radiator (near where the bleed screw is located) cracks.
You car can also overheat even if the radiator seems to be full. This can happen if you don't not bleed the air out of the radiator after a coolant refill if sufficient amounts of coolant was lost previously.
