Other than the last poster Coops395, this issue seems to have quieted down a bit which is good news. My car was just in for the one year and it was scanned (not updated) and thankfully not called out for needing AC components. I haven't driven the car much lately die to covid but the trip to and from the dealer was a blast. I miss the pre-covid life and the road trips the wifey and I would take, but we'd always rather be safe than sorry, especially now that the CDC finally reaffirmed the airborne route (honestly always thought it was and treated it that way).

So in the summer our SA promised he will work with BMW to make up for some of the lost driving time due to the AC issues. They promised that some compensation will be coming but since August, crickets... Now, low and behold, we received a check to cover 2 months of lease payments. Credit to our SA to be persistent when nothing happened... On principle, they did the right thing and I appreciate that. |

I personally faced an AC issue when I bought my car . 2020 Brand new M8 Competition in October last year I took the car to them in 1 month 5 times and they couldn’t fixed until they had to report it Germany. Thank God the managed to fix the problem and now I m really enjoying the car. It was a manufacturing defects on the first production line I believe with many V8 engines. I heard from friends who owner V8 X7 and X5M Competition who faced the same issue.

Hey guys, I have a 2020 M8 Coupe with build date Sept 2019
It was brought over from the Northeast where AC was not used much Now that I am in Vegas, I am constantly running the AC I noticed a similar problem as others had mentioned. There are times I will start my car and it will begin to blow heat instead of A/C; the problem does not happen often, maybe once every few weeks. Sometimes switching to max AC resolves it, other times nothing you do that day can get it to correct. One common factor is that this never develops during a drive, it always starts off blowing heat at startup if that day happens to be a problem. On one of the days this problem occurred, I drove 15 minutes to the dealer with "AC Heat" blowing and was able to show the problem to my service advisor. We were able to get it to correct the issue that day by switching to the Max AC setting He scheduled me for an appointment and said I would have to leave the car with them for 2-3 days as they drive it around and try to replicate the issue. He said they would also try to look at if the car is throwing any codes. If they cannot find anything during the time of service, they cannot do anything about fixing the issue. I am hoping to find some official BMW documentation regarding this problem to support my case. I personally am not too keen on driving around a compact kia and leaving my car for them to drive around a few days as they attempt to replicate a problem that very seldom happens. Additionally, from reading this thread, there don't seem to be any codes our cars throw to show a fault so without replicating the issue, objective findings are nil. I do want to take care of this before warranty runs out. Any advise on how I proceed? Last edited by mpop302; 06-05-2022 at 03:52 PM.. |

Brought it back in at around 8,000 miles. Did all the same tests. This time they replaced the compressor (again), the expansion valve and the condenser. Never had any more problems after that. |

I picked up my 2020 840 yesterday and thought the air con was really poor…to the extent that I was thinking about turning round and taking it back to the dealers. However, while,stuck in a horrendous traffic jam I fiddled around with the screen settings and it suddenly burst into life..to the extent the ‘low’ setting was way too cold! Unfortunately I can’t tell you exactly what I did but it may be worth having a play round in the screen menu.

My AC wouldn't cool at times from new and what I noticed was ac was unchecked in idrive...this still happens once in a blue moon, but all that's needed to rectify is checking the box. With that said I am remaining on a much older sw version (to avoid the exhaust neuter) and I'd imagine the ac box unchecking itself has been rectified.
