What is your engine idle speed?
With A/C On: ?? Mine: without: 550 rpm with: 850 - 900 rpm I'm asking because with the A/C On, the slow speed dynamics of the car change - the idle speed is high, and the car surges and requires excessive brake force while in normal stop and go traffic. Very difficult to modulate the brakes to make a smooth noseless-dive stop. With the A/C OFF, it drives normally and I'm very happy with the slow speed dynamics. I've driven a few late model 3 Series that did NOT exhibit this and I'm wondering if this is specific to the X5 E70 - as my '04 E53 did NOT exhibit this at all. Asked dealer, but their response is: "idle speed set by engine management - we have no adjustments" Nice cop out.

Does your RPM gauge read lower than what the pic is showing or higher without the AC on?
BTW it's normal for the RPM to go up slightly when the AC is turned on at least for the E70s. And it does somewhat numb the throttle response. |
