I've had the 2EE3 code multiple times with the older maps (before 3-30). I wasn't particularly beating on the car - just normal city driving - and it happened. The symptoms included the oil temperature dropping, from 240F to 170F in a matter of minutes, and the radiator fan going on at full blast.
The code means "coolant temperature sensor, plausibility, gradient". The BMW Tech said that the code doesn't actually mean that the coolant temperature sensor is defective as that would probably cause it to not read anything. It means that the coolant temperature somehow increased over the set limit or it did this "too quickly" (hence the "gradient").
I seriously doubt the coolant was actually overheating... probably just a PROcede glitch which has been resolved in the new maps as far as I can tell.
I don't know what the radiator blind code means but my bet is, it's the PROcede. You never know with these beta maps.

This exactly happened when I turned on AC. The fan started running, oil temp went down from ~230 to 170, then water went from 195 to 210+. I was kind of scared of stall, so pulled over to a parking lot, let it run for about a minute or two, then shut the engine. After about 3min, cranked again, and my JB4 mobile was reading the water 150! I sensed immediately that it was the sensor issue. Plus, it was a very pleasant dry 78F degree day, and I wasn't pulling at all. The fan didn't kick on again, then I came home did the coolant flush just in case. The next day, checked the coolant level, and it was normal. Days later, CEL came on the way to work, then this code 2EE3 was there. Erased it. Does anyone know what could the issue?
Thanks.
