Something wrong with my A/C
My A/C isnt really cold for some reason. The car is pretty much new less than 1 year old and it seems that I have to turn it to max cool all the time to get the car cool. I have tint which reflects alot of the heat already but for some reason the A/C isn't as cool as my other cars.
My X5 A/C wis blistering cold where I would have to shut it off on hot days.
anybody else having a similar problem,
thanks

Yes, I have seen the same thing as the OP, but not as bad as jrcart is describing.
I have been thinking about bringing it in.
I do notice that setting the temp a couple degrees lower tends to help.
I wonder if it is just the climate control being smart a$$ and thinking it knows best. Instead of getting 45°F air you get 55°F air.
A service manager told me trying to make assumptions on the health of the AC system with just a thermometer will not work.
Have you also noticed when you have manually turned off the AC, that sometimes it seems like it is still on?
