Thats weird.
I am currently in Scottsdale, Arizona. Temps have been above 110 for the past week.
My air is ICE cold and on max the car cools down in minutes.

You might get some better responses if you would fully describe your ride. Make, model, year and options.

I have found that the system in my E60 is slow to cool down, I don't think it's a problem, my 528i did that same thing.
What I wish for is remote starter so I can cool the thing off before I even get into it..but I don't think that is a possibility

mine works fine here in southern cali. i did have to dink around with the i-drive settings for the auto program and the vent settings. it gets cold enough. sometimes having the vents open versus closed helps, sometimes not.

My outside temp read 105 today. I selected the Max button and the A/C began to blow cool air within 60 secs and the interior cooled off in about 5 - 7 mins. I did not notice any temp difference between the left and right center vents and the temp was set at 74 on both sides. If your A/C is not performing similarly, it's obvious there's an issue that needs to be diagnosed by an experienced automotive A/C mechanic which may or may not be found at the dealership.
