2003 BMW 323 Heating and cooling issue

Electrical problem
2003 BMW 323 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 143000 miles

We have a number of issues.

On computer it reads "Check Controller"
The driver side window works very speratically.

The engine overheats at random points in time, car would work well for a number of weeks, then issue would arise. This issue tends to occur when its stock and go traffic with a/c on, car works fine on freeway with high speed.

The overheating will require a check of the cooling system and fan clutch for proper operation, I dont like to try and diagnose from cyberspace when there are some basic steps that need to be covered, history of the car and its maintenance records, possible accident related, results of the most recent short test and so on.
