Little vent after one year of ownership

At first I had the same problem as everyone, and thought the AC was weak. But you have to switch off the Rear AC to cool down in the front. Plus, I think the issue is not with the AC, but somehow heat enters the cabin and hangs around in the top portion of the interior. I also notice when I take hard turns that this hot air moves around the cabin.

So on really hot days I drive a bit with the sunroof and windows open to let this hot air escape, then the AC does fine.

I compared my AC with our new Range Rover and a G-class back to back, and the X5 is much better. My E92 M3 has a much better AC though, but that's probably because its a small cabin.

Agree with you, I always feel the top portion of the interior is hotter, like way hotter. Maybe I should try your method.

BTW, the cooling seat does nothing, you can hear the blower, but it's not cool at all.

I agree the seat ventilation is so weak. I only feel the air if my back is really sweaty, then i get a bit of a cooling sensation. I also think it works better when the rear AC is off in the car and the front AC is not on max setting.

20% tint all around and 70% tint on the windshield works great for me.

I love how the fan speed on the ventilated seats automatically goes down from 3 to 2 after a while, as if they're thinking "your back and ass must be freezing right now, only a crazy person would leave it on this intensity for so long so let's go ahead and adjust it down for you. You're welcome.".
