I tried to use the max a/c button to try it out....just got the car and playing around.....and it doesnt work...does the a/c button need to be on too or will it not work if the temp outside is too cold? can someone help explain.

I believe it should work when you press it even if the A/C is not on. I'm pretty sure it's this way on my car - you should get a sudden blast of maximum fan speed and the lights around the fan speed dial light up clockwise as the fan speeds up. You can then manually turn the fan speed down to what ever level you want shilst still maintaining maximum cold A/Cd air.

I use this quite a lot at the start of a journey on a warm day until I'm cool enough then I stick it back on Auto. Useful feature as I don't think the E60 A/C compressor blasts out cold air as soon as other makes do after starting the engine and so this just accerates the process a little.

nevermind...it works in the garage but the temp is about 42f. I guess it automatically senses the outside temp and wont work if its too cold outside. makes sense i guess
