so far mine works but yesterday was 90 degrees and humid and it seemed it wasnt working right at night. I am a little worried. Yes the AC on off is under the menu which is stupid. in its quest to eliminate buttons they have made things confusing but I am worried the AC is not up to snuff. The one in the X3M is amazing and in fact often have to turn the temp up. the X5M is not so good similar to the M8 which has me worried. The hot months are coming and we will see. Good post.

Geez, now I'm starting to wonder if the few times I've noticed the AC wasn't blowing cold and had to change my settings back to auto and engage recirc was due to this issue. My 850 only has about 750 miles and was delivered on 12/26 so it doesn't get on the road much but I will be keeping a close eye on it as well next time she goes out which should be soon. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this was SW related...

I'm glad I got the M8 because it gets me more girls. Heh, both seem equally likely. |

Took the M850 out for a spin this evening and no issues with the AC, kept the recirc on for the entire drive to help keep the plague out...glad I did as no one we saw in our community had a mask on nor practised any form of SD...

It was supposed to hit 111 here in the Phoenix area today but was 107 when I made a short trip to the grocery store and back. AC worked fine but once again a short trip. Tomorrow is supposed to hit 107 so at the heat of the day I'm going to make a long drive to see how the AC works.

Reading through the issues reported at least on my drive today with ambient 105 degree temperature I had no issues with the AC blowing hot air at high RPMs or heavy acceleration as in my commitment to limeypride I'm in Sport Plus only now and it holds gears at least to 4000 RPM before an up shift and even higher depending on the situation. In normal DILYSI fashion on the way to and back from Home Depot I was accelerating from a stop light to 60 MPH plus in a blink of an eye (most of the trip had 45 to 50 MPH PSL streets) and RPMs in the 4K to 5K range prior to up shifts. Last note is won major points with the wife for the misting system now installed on "her" patio so a good day overall. |

Update
For those who are curious, my M8 is still in the shop for the AC problem, now passing five days since I dropped it off. I've checked in a few times but nothing definitive about where they stand on problem resolution. For those curious folks, I'll update this thread if anything notable develops. In the meantime, I have an X5 in my driveway, not quite the same driving experience!

That said, nothing drives like a sports car. From Mustangs to Ferrari, you can't beat a proper car. However, for my money, I'd replace my M850i with a true 911. Not that anyone cares, but again partly because of lack of BMW support after drive off. Also, I've given up on trying to please everyone all the time. My next sports car will be a true 2 seater for 1 and not a 2+2 or 4 door. My wife and kids can follow me in their SUV, if they can keep up. |

Wondering if anyone has any updates on the AC issues identified on this thread. I leased an M8GC (Brands Hatch Grey / Taruma Brown) in April and have noticed some wonkiness with the AC. Notably, it does not keep a consistent temperature (I keep mine on Auto, recirculate and around 65-ish). I find it will blow cold air and then cycle to almost warmish air and then back to cold air. Also, the fan always seems to be running high, notwithstanding having the Auto settings at low. I brought the car in for service but nothing was identified. Also have a friend with an M8GC and he experiences the same issues. Curious if anyone has developed any leads on this.
Thanks, CD |

Got my M8 Comp back, new compressor and condenser. 38 degrees coming from vents now. So far, so good, but we'll see once I've had a chance to drive it more. My last M8 also needed a new compressor within 400 miles of brand new. This one is at about 600 miles.

Glad you got her back, what happened to the last compressor etc did they stop working again?

A quick bit of research indicates BMW OEMs their AC parts (which makes sense as there is no sense to try and build that yourself in today's world). I also have to assume that for the 8-series they are universal components or otherwise BMW needs a lesson in volume manufacturing. Assuming the lack of lesson needed I'm guessing there was a bad "batch" of compressors, etc. that went into a series of builds. Do you have the build dates for your original M8 vs the new one that still needed the swap out?
