Hi
There is a problem with my A/C it do not chill the air.
The system is just refilled 820g R134a coolant fluid. (Don't know what it's called)
If I lower the temperature setpoint then the fan is running faster but the air is still same temp as outside.
Any of you had the same problem?
I could take my car to the dealer but already spent money on a refill which did not help.
Thanks fo any help.

Hello' My 2004 525 a/c took very long to start cooling sometimes especially if car engine was warm. dealer changed a/c compressor under BMW goodwill to fix problem. Good luck!

Did you check the temp setting in Idrive under climate? If the colored bar next to the seat is red , adjust it so that is blue...
If that does not work sounds like a dealer related trip could be coming up.

No problem ,It's a common problem that many drivers don't know about.

Our problem is similar- At night, or when the car is moving- A/C is on point...
But, if you park that bad boy and leave it idling, it heats up REAL quick. I'm worried because I live in TX-
I checked the vent settings and all of that- the man's chest is blue on both the driver and passenger vent settings.
Then again, in the wintertime, sometimes the heat would shut down too- and later come back up. I'm thinking it may be settings related, but it looks like I have every thing set right. Not sure why stopping and idling (my wife ran into a store for a minute while I sat outside. After about 10 minutes, I had to let the windows down. Five minutes after that, I was in the store too) causes the AC to stop working.
I've always said this is the one area the USA (HVAC) has the advantage over all other automakers.
