My Ride: 2006 530 xi, Black Sapphire Metallic, Auburn Leather,poplar grain wood trimi, prem. pkg., prem. sound pkg., cold weather pkg., steptronic auto. trans., front comfort seats, split folding rear seats w/ski bag,rear heated seating, power rear sunshade and manual rear side window shades, park distance control, BMW on-board navigation system and satellite radio.
I have had my 2006 530xi for two months and have experienced this situation at least three times: I start up the car and the system starts blowing out air but it's not cool, I wait a little while and still nothing, I shut off the "auto" button and push it on again and it then starts blowing out cool air and continues to operate just fine.
Anyone else experience this?

I have another question about the AC. When I start up the engine, the AC is always "On", even I had it turn off before I shut off the car, is it normal??

Yes it is normal for the AC to be on upon restart. I have had a similar issue about the AC blowing but not coold air. It is very sporatic so I have not brought it up with my dealer. I simply turn it off and then back on and it works fine...

That's how I feel, I don't want to bring it up to the dealer unless it becomes a chronic issue. The less grimey paws on my baby the better. I am very particular about my car and don't like the idea of others messing around unless it's absolutely necessary. I feel better knowing I'm not the Lone Ranger on this....

[/quote]My A/C has been acting up since the get go. I've had 3 software upgrades and still the same. Eventually BMW will address this issue with a future software upgrade.

As for my AC experience, one time, it blew artic air until my windows condense on the outside (outside hotter and inside car). Of course, I also had the programming set to high automatic. I still don't interest the logic of low, medium, and high automatic, but that's bmw. I now set mine to medium automatic and have not had any problem as of yet.
