Both of our okd Mercs (99 E320 & 2000 C280 have excellent auto AC. It isn't German engineering. It sounds like operator malfunction!

HVAC has never been a German strong suit, be it in a Bimmer, MB or a P-Car.?

Hi
My dealer upgraded I-drive to 18.1.
But the air conditioner is alwaly on after sleep-mode even though I turn off manually. This is so annoying.
Do you bimmers have the same problems?
Thanks for your reply in advance.

My 2005 545i, which I got August 1st, also has the ac coming on every time I start the car even when I turn it off when I shut down the car.
It's annoying, but not something I would be willing to take to BMW for a software upgrade for 2-3 days.

Why should BMW include the "high, medium, or low" anyway? Doesn't everyone want to get to the set temp. ASAP.

I have the same thing, but really it doesn't tire me too much to push a button to make it off. Plus sometimes it just stays off but rarely. And i get the window anti trap error but rarely...
I'm not bothered by anything on this car!
I JUST LUV IT AS IT IS!

Bimmer32-True but I have mine on medium because the fan noise is too loud on high.
I live in Florida so I feel your pain.
You would think that when you spend this much money for a car, something like getting the ac to start when the driver wants it to start would be tested for before passing the vehicle on to the customer.
I paid several hundred bucks for a dealer preparation fee. Checking the car out for stuff like this should have been part of it.
Now I find out when I am driving alone, the front passenger headrest keeps noisily vibrating.
Shouldn't happen for 60k.

My Ride: 530i 6 speed

Mine changes the blower speed according to temperature.
High - low just chages the sensitivity. Its one of the few things that works perfectly on my car...
