My 2014 535i overheated and derated on the interstate. I pulled over and found it was low on coolant (I hadn't checked it in 9 or so months). After I filled it, it continued to slowly overheat but then return to normal operating temperature, over and over again (I monitored the temperature via the hidden menu) . Once I got home I was able to bleed the system and top it up thanks to this/your video! Crisis averted >.

Do you leave the cap off the coolant bottle (header bottle) while bleeding for 10-15 minutes,after holding the gas pedal down for 10 to 15 seconds and opening it to check electric water pump is running as shown in the video. Very nice video

Done this about 10 times so far and can still hear air in the system, no heat from heaters. As the water pump is cycling the water doing the bleed i can hear crackling/air by the oil filter. Cant find any leaks or anything and the car doesnt overheat, just no hor air out of the heater vents....which is getting pretty rough now its freezing cold in the UK.

Any tips on what else I can check to see what’s causing this issue? pls try get back to me mate, cheers
