Seems like a malfunction with the blower.

I had a problem once with my old '01 E39 525iA with full auto AC.

I gave air but in a very strange way.

The problem then was a defected sensor.

For the benefit of all forum members - the fault was with the blower resistor because of which the blower stopped working totally. air con working fine now. dealer took one day to replace the resistor as it is located behind the dash and they need the time to open up the dash.
