Thumbs up

Has anyone else had this complaint? Is it just my car (04-545i) or is there something I can do to fix this problem?

To meet your individual needs, you can
weaken or strengthen the intensity of the
automatic climate control.
1. Turn the ignition key to position 1
2. Open the menu
3. Select "Vehicle settings" and press the
controller
4. Select "Climate control" and press the
controller
5. "Automatic programs"
6. Select the desired intensity and press
the controller.

Yes, the temperature of the cold air coming out when I have the AC on is not nearly as cold as that produced by my 2006 Infiniti M45. It sufficiently cools down the car but it never gets really cold.

I'll try that as soon as I get home...

I was just complaining on another post, about how weak the AC is in this car...
There can be no half-stepping on the AC output in Dallas, TX.

Make sure you have the center vent temp all the way to 4 blue bars. It certainly should be cold at that setting. Although in 90+ weather, it does take a while to get there. Its in the vent settings of the climate iDrive menus.
