+1 to the water pump. Same thing happened to my BMW.

Replace the water pump, thermostat, and accessory belt (and pulleys if necessary) while the car is in the shop. Good idea to replace the AOS and coolant expansion tank at the same time.

I am a DYI owner on the stuff I can do. I’ve replaced the air filter, cabin filter, oxygen sensor, ignition switch, dash speakers and window switches..... so I DO do some work myself. I have an Indy do my Mobile 1 oil and filter changes ($105)...... I seldom spend more than that each year. (I only out about 4,000 miles a year on the car and never drive it in the winter).
