Texas at 98/85 is miserable - strong AC performance reported there.
Usually between 60-80% in summer. You do have a point which kind of makes sense, but it genuinely feels like something inside is blocked and stopping the air flow rather than freezing and blowing plain air instead.

The problem is that I haven’t noticed this problem with any other BMW, just the F15, which at times got me thinking it might be an “efficiency” trick, but having the hot climate version it definitely doesn’t make sense.
