Water pump? Also did you bleed the system after you did the work? I do know Bmw's use plastic bits in their cooling systems, other than that :dunno:

It could also be a cracked head, or a head gasket issue. those cars suffered from cracked heads on a regular basis.
If i were you I would take it to a good shop like AutoFAB Motorsports (678-482-2221) and have someone check it out before spending any money on it. while it could very well be a pump, hose, radiator, etc.. you want to get a few good opinions on it before spending money.
Good Luck!
