Does your cabin run warm

monterey · 12-11-2016, 09:05 PM

I always seem to have warm air pumping thru my vents. Does yours do this?

1MOREMOD · 12-11-2016, 09:08 PM

Mines in the woods and usually snow so I will say no

Todd0131 · 12-11-2016, 09:09 PM

always

Leonardo629 · 12-11-2016, 09:22 PM

Yes, heater works

askjeeves · 12-11-2016, 09:26 PM

Mine has felt warm lately. I suspect it's got a leak and running low on refrigerant.

rdoctor · 12-11-2016, 09:34 PM

If talking about the top vents and you don't want warm air through those just dial the little red/blue dial to blue :-)

Even with the settings set to the lowest temp of 60 and blue dialed in, my vents blow in warm air. I'm almost forced to use A/C on a cold day.

I agree. Some cars run warm like the Cayman for example. I think the e90 m3 runs hotter than most cars and somehow that heat makes it into the cabin so running AC is the norm for me.

Never had this issue but then again mine is set to 60 blue

E46M3forRay · 12-12-2016, 10:41 AM

My 335i does appear to run warm dialed in at 60/blue since new. My M3 does not.

Seems to be a hit and miss on the E9x platform.

Mine seems fine temp wise both in summer and winter, however my fan speed always seem to be running a few notches too high when in auto mode on the lowest fan setting. I have to go to manual mode to get it to slow down.

Warm.

Warm air through the vents? Not when the A/C is turned on (11 months a year here).
