reside in Miami, todays temp. 97, black car. I'm realistic but I also own ohter cars, in your opinion how long should it take for cold air to come out of the vents in BMW under above conditions. After car is park under sun it is taking up to 2 min. for you to feel cold air, is this normal? dealer say it is but on my other cars(lexus and acura) it takes 30 seconds.
Your answer
Thanks

The Germans never could get air conditioning right. I know it seems like a BS answer, but I have never owned a BMW that gets cold like the American and Japanese vehicles do. That is why my wife drives a Hyundai and I drive a Chevy truck. The dealer may or may not be straight with you, but the reality is "they all do that" Next time, try b4 u buy.
