E36 overheating please help!!!!

I have a 92 BMW 320i it's imported from Japan. I was driving home and my top rad hose blew off on the highway. It broke the fitting on my rad and so I managed to reconnect it and got it home. My rad is busted from previous owner it had a leak before and he fixed it with some crap. Anyways now I went to start it again and now I notice the coolant starts boiling in the overflow tank and car overheats at idle about 20 to 25 mins after starting it. I changed the thermostat. Where should I start looking? And there is no heat in the cab just blows cold air.
And should I try replacing the rad first?
Also I haven't noticed any white smoke or smell burning coolant.
Please help!!
