BMW's are notorious for their weak cooling systems. I've had to completely overhaul the cooling system on every BMW I've owned (1 E36 & 2 E39 540's) anywhere between 60k miles and 100k miles. Not sure why the E90 will be any different, but time will tell! As has already been stated, your BMW doesn't use a timing belt.
