Solar panel/auto "cooling" feature observation
Just thought I'd say, the other day when I went out to my car, I noticed the blower moter was running, but I hadn't left it in "rest" mode. It was about mid 80s in temp, hotter inside the car. So I guess the fan motors really do work when it gets warm inside.. air coming out was not fast, and not cold, but more or less "room tempature." I don't know what REAL effect it had on keeping the car cool, but in an extreme case where it was 120 out, I think it would be more noticeable.
At any rate, I've had the car almost 6 mos now, and thought this 1000 option was a waste.. now I'm just usnure, but hopefully this summer it will prove itself.

I've had mine for over a year now, and truly love the feature. Makes a big difference down here in Florida. I also use the rear sunshade, and manual front sunshade. I'll bet about fifteen degree difference from outside, and big difference on feel in the seats when first sitting.

Big difference here in NM... other cars have a searing heat when you get in during the summer. The E55 is warm, but not searing, a noticeable difference.
I just wish I could start the car remotely beforehand using TeleAid !
