overheating

Ron
   Everyday I see recently purchased BMWs with new radiators, water 
pump, 2nd-3rd thermostat, new fan clutch......still overheating.....
   Frequently I find thermostats installed backwards.
   Is the vent hose on the expansion bottle?  Is it cracked? bloated?
   Is the seal on the cap tattered? missing?  overheat boil-bubble 
bursts will damage the vent hose.
   Check coolant for exhaust by-products.......leaking headgasket.
