If your BMW overheats on a highway:

Safely pull over and turn off the engine immediately to prevent damage.

Open the hood carefully to release heat be cautious of hot steam.

Check coolant levels once the engine cools down — add coolant o r water if available.

Avoid driving until the issue is fixed to prevent engine warping o r gasket failure.

Get the car inspected by a trusted mechanic ASAP to diagnose leaks, thermostat, water pump, o r radiator issues.

Pro tip: Carry a spare coolant bottle and distilled water in your car for emergencies, especially in summer.
