Question
I have replaced the head, head gasket, water pump, thermostat, and all the gaskets in the engine and my car still overheats. I think I might have put the hoses in the wrong places. I just don't know what else could be wrong?
John,
I dont know how you could have misplaced the hoses, most are bent to fit a certain way, and will be noticable if you try to bend them into a different position.

The above link should show you a basic layout for the coolant hoses,
Good Luck!,
Josh

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.
Experience
I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
