A/C Question

So far, I've had my E63 for 10 months, and it has been a flawless, amazing performer.

Just wondering about the A/C. Most cars drip A/C condensation. You can notice it when you park the car after using A/C. My E63 never has a puddle under it, even after using the A/C full-blast for more than an hour. Does anyone know why our cars don't drip? Or is just my car?

I know this question may seem insignificant, but I'm just curious to know why.

I don't recall seeing my E63 dripping water either.

That's what I think happens too. There are two pans/covers underneath the car that you have to take off in order to get to the motor and oil pans. At least that is the way it is on the E55's.

Or it might me Ninja's who knows

Thanks guys. I knew it was a silly question. But you know....one of those things that make my mind race....like trying to get a Captain & Tennille 70s song out of your head...
