Im not sure where the water was coming out from...im guessing from the radiator. But the temp gage was normal... it wasnt over heating or anything.

Well you know, IF the coolant is low enough, the temp gauge won't read...it can't read "steam" in other words..it needs to be submerged in a liquid.
 
If you are gushing steaming hot water out, you should not be driving this car ONE FURTHER INCH.

Hard to say with so little info. Might be just a simple thing like a stuck thermostat or some such, or you could have the typical BMW issue of a cracked radiator.

Can you supply me with the information you gave you BMW dealer regarding this problem - would be helpful to know what tech service bulletin was on you receipt or what they used to get BMW to do the installation of the redesigned valve heads..
 
We have the same problem and at first the dealer said this is normal and all BMW's have this problem. Second time the preformed the recommended BMW fix and that lasted about two days. Any detailed information would be appreciated.
 
If you want i can give you my e-mail address.

I just got 2002 530i manual.
Should i go with the Cold air intake or just K&N filter and keep it stock?
What is better and what would give me better sound and power, longer life what is better for engine?

I agree----Keep it stock and don't waste your money on a K&N filter. It's not easy to outsmart BMW engineers when it comes to very efficient intake design.
