Mate, thanks for sharing the great info on the forum for everyone. I had my X5 checked, for the the 2nd time, for the same problem that most ppl are having. I printed out a copy of this post and attached it along with my key when I dropped it off. It took them 2 days to find out what the problem which was a short circuit somewhere in the aircondtion electrical connection. That explains why it worked somedays and didn't work otherdays when hot. My X5 was passed it warrenty however, bcoz I mention this problem b4 warrenty expired, Brisbane BMW did not charged me .

Anyway, thanks again NervX5 and everyones reply.

Im curious to know whether this circuit problem also affected the heating system. My heating is interment and my air con is sometimes too. Im outside the warranty period but I could always get one if I think it will be covered

I think it is definetly a possiblility that loose circuit problem could be the coz of ur problem. u should try to get a claim from BMW even thou ur warranty is expired. they are usually pretty good.

hey thanks illl get it checked out, but what is the basis of my getting a claim from BMW for this, is there a lifetime warranty on it or something or does it depend on how the dealer is feeling that day.
