My wife did the same friggin' thing with my 740! I was suffering from a busted heater valve, but the result was the same. When she got home from a 20 minute, slow traffic drive with the car in this condition, you could hear it coming up the road. And, I have never seen an engine that hot! Even so, the engine seemed none the worse for the experience. I thought I would at least need a head gasket, but everything was fine once it cooled down and I replaced the heater valve. Unreal! That was over 50k ago, and we are still going strong! I hope your story ends as well, and it probably will . . . Allen
