Check ur thermostat......

Possibly your radiator is stuck as the temp only goes up when ur moving. Maybe can flush it while you're getting the thermostat changed.

you might want to check your cooling fan

First change your mechanic. A mechanic who recommend you to change the whole cooling system without testing the car should be avoid at all cost.

btw, check your fan clutch first.
have you change the thermostat recently?

Normally, some bmw car when having problem would have temperature rises when slow down or stationary. You seem to have the reverse phenomenon. :stupid:

Usually, I use my jet cleaner set at wide angel to reduce the pressure. This is to prevent the radiator fin from being damaged from the water pressure.

You can ask the car wash to do it but supervised them so that they do not point the jet water directly at the fin.

The purpose is to get rid of insects, leaves and dust from the radiator fins.

No need to take out the radiator lar. Just spry the water from the front and rear to clean the fins. Maybe can try to get the aircon people who service your house aircon and spray some chemical to assist in cleaning. :listen:
