You need to cooling fan. Your air will work more efficiently and you won't overheat the engine. My 740 with 2 year old radiator, new hoses, new water pump and new thermostat overheated last week and stalled because the condenser/cooling fan was not running.

They are expensive, but check on ebay.

I also wonder if someone tried to use a solution to stop a leak and that is why you have goodies in you coolant. That may be clogging the radiator a bit. If it's original and you have the coin, I'd change the radiator while your doing the fan.
