Hi,
i am relatively new to this problem.
i own a 525i 2004 model, recently when i start driving on about a 28-33 degrees celcius day, about 5minutes into the drive with the air conditioner on, i keep receiving the message from the i-drive displaying "engine too hot! drive moderately...". this has happened a few times.
however when i drive on a day with the same temperature without the air conditioner on, no messages pop up. so i think the air conditioner is heating up the engine, and i believe that it defeats the purpose of having an A/C if you cant use it on a hot day.
am i the only one with this problem? lol

 

welcome to the forum... i hope this isnt what is keeping you up so late... i hope you get your answer quickly. there are some great people, they are probably all sleeping though. the UKers will be waking up soon. i work nights so i kinda just lurk around.

 

wow, i didnt realise the difference in time zone lol
i am from australia. yeah the problem is still here, havent used the a/c since. bmw dealership wants to charge me to take a look at the problem =[
