My Ride: 07 525 i sport/navi
a few days agon on a hot miami day which is the norm i started my car and noticed the duration it took for the ac to blow cold air. at first i turend it off than statrted it again, same premise 
. finally i put it to max and to no avail, same hot, muggy air not a faint of cold. finally after sweating like a pig the air finally adjusted and worked fine after 5mintes. i chalked it up as a hot day+ car was cold, but than it happened to me again yesterday 
...so, my question is this a common problem? any1 else suffer from this? and yes i wil take it to the dealer.

I have 3M tinted windows so the car cools down much more quickly.

My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
I'm lucky - the gulf spec version has a beefed up AC. Last week it was 50c with 50% humidity and my car blew cold air within a minute - I love the ac in this thing, it's the best I've ever experienced.
A buddy of mine in Vegas has a desert spec E60 and says the same thing about it. Neither of us have heated seats though
, not that we care !

My Ride: 2004 jet black 530I, M-tech body kit, ac shnitzer roof and trunk spoiler. kelleners sport exhaust and pully kit on its way from germany.
Once in a while I have that problem but doesn't last to long. Now I just turn on the car a few min before jumping in and taking off.

mine just stinks a bit
that sucks. go get that fixed asap.but yes, i also do have the problem with the ac. at first it'll blow warm air but give it a few minutes (no more than 2 for me... maybe not even a minute) and it'll blow that nice and cool air for the hot and warm summer.
