When I complained AGAIN to my SA on Monday when my car was serviced....NO answer. Well besides from roll the windows down and keep it on Max AC. I am so, so curious how the 2019 X5 A/C will be!! My 2006 E90 330i behaved the exact same way my F15 does. I think BMW used an old system for the F15

Even with all this, the dash surface never cools down, you can literally see the heat rising from it - unbelievable. If you decice to write to BMWNA about this, let us know, I can't believe it would have been designed to be this bad.

Yes, when you look at the part schematics for the X5 you can see that the AC unit is a much older one.
My guess is that it was closer to sufficient on the previous X5, but interior space keeps getting bigger and now it can't handle that much.
Also, the greenhouse effect from the windshield doesn't help at all. I can't wait to get out of my lease! I hate this X5.
