Hello All ones again
I did the air bleeding like showed in link above.
changed the thermostat to original oem before that.
changed the radiator and reservoir cap.
still when parked it heats up after 10 minutes but when driving it’s all good and temperature comes back to normal.
can it be a water pump ? I hope not because it’s a lot of money or what do you guys advice

Most likely you still have air in your system or a problem with your fans?

Okay, not sure about v36 cars, but my 04 v35 the fans turn on at 204* coolant temp. Are your fans turning on when you turn on the A/C?
Two ways I've learned you can tell if the system is properly bleed:
1. Heat should blow hot when the engine it idling.
2. Radiator hoses should be firm when the engine is hot & running. If they are soft, you still have air in there that isn't allowing the system to pressurize.
I had issues getting my car to bleed, I had heat at idle, but my hoses were still soft even when the car was HOT. I have the Z1 aluminum bleeder port, and what I ended up doing was buying a Vibrant M10x5/16 barb adapter and buying a cheap coolant reservoir. With the engine running, I hooked it all up and filled the reservoir. I was able to purge quite a bit of air out of the system using gravity and squeezing the hoses.
