I would look into upgrading the cooling system. A bigger radiator if it can fit for example

Check the fan clutch and ensure that it is not slipping.

dude. a 316??? Where in the world did you find one of those? No offense, but I didnt even know those could overheat....

Anyway, check the heater core unit as well. If you say that the water pump is replaced as well as other parts, flush, flush, and fush. Then bleed, bleed, and bleed. And then bleed some more. Most often, its air trapped that causes the most problems.
