My Ride: 2004 E60 Bi-Fuel Business Navigation Park distance control Sunroof extended airco with armrest 18" M5 rims with Runflats xbox with 2 headrests LCD front LCD video enabled Detachable towbar Alarm anti-blind rearview mirror Adaptive Xenon Bluetooth carkit Garage door opener integrated Headlight cleaning system Seat heating front

2 weeks ago I got a new software update, and one week later I noticed some problems with the airco.

Sometimes when I change some settings (auto on or off, or change the fan speed), the airco goes off, and doesn't come on. When I press the MAX button, the airco should blow at full power, but the thing is coming out of the vents is the hot airtemperature from outside.

When I remove the key from the ignition, and restart the car, the airco works again.

One time when I pressed the auto-circulate button the airco was functioning again.
Today I tried to reproduce the problem and I tried to change the settings for about 30 minutes, but the airco kep working. When I stopped the car and restarted it ,I got it reproduced in 2 minutes?

Is this a software problem?

You have hardware problems and not software.

I have encountered the same problem with my 2004 525i. Had the car for just 6 weeks, I first thought I missed something in the manual. It is intermittent. If Icould just get the car back from my wife maybe I could get it sorted out.
