Hi guys, picked up my car in January. Today it's getting hot, 70 f. For the first time I use the cold AC, however even I set AC to low, it's still not cooling. But it has no problem to blow hot air. Does anyone know if the AC is broken that I should take it to a dealership? Thanks!

Highly doubt your A/C is broken, there is a setting you must check in iDrive before getting cold A/C. There was a thread just a week ago on this very topic, search and you shall find it.

Make sure your (now hidden) red/blue "wheel" is on blue for colder air.

The blue red wheels are often the issue.

My third BMW coming still not sure what the purpose of the wheels are.

Everything is on the most blue but it still blows warm air....

I had a thread with the same exact problem. Ive yet to bring it to the dealer. The nuts and bolts of the AC system work as it is capable of blowing out ice cold air. Knowing next to nothing about the inner workings it almost appears to me that whatever sensor reports the interior temp to the AC isn’t working. Or whatever receives that input isn’t working.

I am at the dealership now. They said it's low on Freon and there might be some electrical issues as well. They are still inspecting. Low on Freon might be low since factory, or leak....

RJJJ,
Go here --> https://www.bmwusa.com/owners-manuals.html and plug in your VIN, agree to the three statements and click the Accept button.
Then at the top right of the next page, click "Index A-Z" and then select "Air Conditioning" and read through that page and see if it helps. If it does, it beats taking it to the dealer.

Oh, ok, you must of posted as I was too :-) Good thing you went then. Hope they check for leaks, this is the first I've read of one being low on freon.
