BMW 5 series fake overheating???

hey! I have a 2006 BMW 530xi, an overheating alert message pops up randomly the fans tend to go on full blast trying to cool the car down then stop and the message disappears sometimes after 10 seconds and some after 5 mins. This also sometimes happens as soon as I start the car in the morning which doesn't make any sense to get the car overheated on a cold start. however, I changed temp sensors, coolant hoses, water pump, and thermostat and the same problem tend to happen. Also, I've put a scanner on it and I saw a live data for the coolant temp which I noticed that the alert message tends to come when the coolant temp is 168 degrees where the thermostat usually open at 200 degrees.
