This is my biggest complaint here. Super cold going fast. Mediocre going slow.... If this is true, why do they make it disengage? Fuel economy?

My 335 A/C also sucks. I took it to the dealer and got the old "could not duplicate customer concerns". I told them it doesn't get cold when you leave it in the sun (85F +) and of course they tested it in the morning when it was 67F and since there is no leak they wont do anything else. I'll have to try and fix it myself before next Summer. BTW...my 135 A/C worked great, blasted cold air regardless of the situation.

My wife have taken her 2011 328xi to the AC for the weak AC, dealer found no problem. Its not a Japanese vs German thing either, my Audi use to get very cold, its a BMW thing.

I don't what's wrong with your A/C units but the one in my '07 will give you frostbite in about 5 mins on MAX. Of course, given that I live in Florida, I have mine maintained annually so maybe that's why mine performs so well.

The only thing Ive found to work is:
1. set the front and rear vents to cold air 2. move the temperature control all the way down to 60F. This seems to override the temperature control and will blast cold cold air. Non vented seats really dont help the cause. My next car will have to have vented seats. |

Sacramento, ca- my ac in the 335 is weak. I have an e46 sedan that my wife drives and the ac there is MUCH better than mine.

Did they change some controls on the 2012? My E91 has a MAX button to push. When you push it the temperatures are turn to 60* on both side and the fan blows super strong! Then depress it again and it returns to your normal setting. I bet you guys already knew this, right?

Agree about the AC in my new 328i, but I tinted the Windshield with Air Blue, so even living in a steaming hot Floirda this summer, the car was usually comfortable.

I thought I was the only... figured it needed Freon or something, but I see it's just the fault of the car. Oh well, thank god it's getting colder

I don't recall having a problem with neither my "d" nor my M35,but then I never experienced serious heat in either vehicle.However,I just drove to Denver last June in my (German) Bluetec experiencing 105 degrees on a couple of days with no trouble at all.Go figure.
