Contact the dealer. Sounds like a faulty level sensor.

Hey dude,

This happened to me on my F30 for a while and I brought it back multiple times and finally they found that the coolant container had a leak and it had to be replaced. Get it checked.

Have you looked at the coolant level when the car is cold? Coolant expands when the car warms up.

Seems to be a coolant sensor problem, got mine replaced a few months ago.
