The contact owns a 2018 BMW 750I. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the engine overheated with the temperature gauge indicating that the engine was hot(H) with the check engine warning light illuminated.

The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure worsened, and additional repairs were performed but the failure persisted. The contact was then informed by a mechanic that the engine oil cooler line was defective which had caused oil to leak into the engine coolant.
