One other thing you might look at is trash in the radiator.
I had the same overheating problem with my M5--as
long as the car was _moving_ everything was reasonable,
but as soon as you stopped, zoom, up to the redline.
Tried everything. Finally, my mechanic took the radiator
off and flushed it with a hose--you wouldn't beleive the
crap that came out...dirt, bugs, et al. PUt the radiator
back in, cools like a champ.
Sometimes the simple stuff can get ya....
Coming up soon: A review of the Split Second
Mass Air Flow conversion kit, which I've been living
with for 3 months...
