It's so darned hot at present I hope you find the solution as cheaply as possible.

Wow, that would be bizarre if true, but I almost don't question it based on the over-engineered approach to a lot of BMW features.
So you've had this same problem before - with the cool air on the driver's side and warm air on the passenger's? And you recharged and it resolved the issue? Because I had the same issues the past year or two and it seemed like the simple recharge mostly resolved the cooling discrepancy between the two sides. I guess my concern right now is not overcharging the system. Do we know what BMW specs for the high and low pressures on this model? I've looked around but haven't found anything real definitive. Some have said the low side range should be between 25 - 35 psi.
Yeah, the past few days have been a little uncomfortable. And the hotter it gets outside, the less the AC wants to cool.
