Ambiant air package LCI
I have this in my 50e. Driving for weeks and the cartridges are still 100%. Vents are open and it's level 3 (max). I don't smell any fragrance. I had this option in my 45e also and it was very noticeable. I don't think it's working. If this isn't working it makes me also wonder if the ionizer is working because I thought it's included in this part.
Called my dealer today about this. They checked my VIN and saw something about the ambiant air package. Ionizer and ambiant air does not work due to software issue. They expect a fix by April 2024. |

I was thinking I’ll have to raise with my dealer next week as I’d come to the conclusion I’m actually not doing anything wrong and it’s actually not working at all! TBH it’s been a bit frustrating as I’ve used up a good bit of time fiddling with setting and taking the cartridges out and putting back in. It’s a shame we can’t be notified of known issues like this to save all the time and effort trying to make it work when in fact it wont. |

We did a roadtrip in Germany the past week and when coming home the cartridges were still 100%. I hoped something was wrong so they could replace the unit. But now you have to wait for at least 6 months in the hope BMW releases a bugfix for it. But I paid for this feature... But that the ioniser isn't working is for me a bigger concern. My dealer is going to contact BMW to get some more info about this. |

I have the ioniser on too, how do you know it’s not working, can you tell from the quality of the air or something? Again I’ve never had it on a previous X5 so I don’t have a benchmark to compare with… |

Now I think the air is not as clean as in my 45e. But that can also be my imagination now I know it |

He said cars between a certain production date are impacted. My car was produced in June. When was your car produced? But if not all LCI's with ambiant air are impacted I would think they can fix it now without waiting for months for a software bugfix? |

Thanks zoli1986 for the info.
I’m pretty pissed off with the time I’ve spent messing with it to make it work all the time thinking I’m at fault. I wish they’d been up front about it as soon as it’s a known defect, especially one that’s endemic like this, pretty poor show. |
