deutsch100 is on a distinguished road
The A/C is pretty bad in the E70. It was bad in my 2007 3.0si, and it's almost as bad in my 2008 4.8i. It was worse in my 2006 E90 (330i). It seems like all "new" models have über-crappy climate control systems (must be software related, again!)

No matter what setting I use (AUTO, more blue bars,etc..) I have almost 0 airflow out of the side vents by the driver & passenger front windows. The air is pretty cold, but unless I use MAX A/C, the airflow is never really strong. The BIG problem is that on MAX, you cannot hear the radio, and don't even try to have a conversation with anyone in the car.

While I "appreciate" BMW Engineer efforts with their i-Drive "options" cough, cough, for the A/C...they are just confusing, poor and honestly they just don't work.

Mercedes, Lexus, Audi and surprisingly Ford all have superior Climate Controls compared to BMW.
