This is the second summer we've had our X5 and the A/C continues to work and cool very effectively. On super hot humid summer days, after the X5 has been sitting in the sun here in Florida, I've pushed the "MAX" button to cool the car quickly and it does so very well. After a minute or two I just go to the Auto Intensive position and the vehicle stays very comfortable.

When I first got the vehicle I like many of you thought the system was weak. But once I got the settings for the vents right through I drive and began modulating the intensity through the "AUTO" button I found the system to be very good.
