I went as far as turning the temperature 5-8 degrees lower on the passenger side with the AC on and the fan speed set at max. The driver side still blows out colder air. All the vents are fully open and air is coming out of all of them. The passenger side just takes longer to blow out cold air and when it does the air isn't as cool as the driver side. Any ideas?
I have a 2005 X5 4.4 with 53K miles.

Thanks in advance,
Benny
