Unhappy Excessive Coolant Temp. on 1995 530i

Please Help!!!!
Recently purchased 1995 530i(automatic) w/107k. I notice excessive heat coming from under hood after driving only a few miles. Raised hood and heard coolant bubbling/boiling. Notice tempreture gauge was reading a little past half way after alowing car to sit for 2hrs. Next day watched closely as temp gauge rose again to same point after only 5min!!!

Any Help will Do as I am awaiting arrival of an owners manual. I don't want to case more problems.

hi
check if you have the proper amount of coolant, and your thermostat may be stuck
