Hot Air Issue 116i
Looking for confirmation whether this is an issue or not:
I drive a 116i with manual AC in China. In all my cars I like to leave the fan on for fresh air then adjust for heat or turn on the AC if required. This is particularly necessary in China with the pollution and keeping windows closed, the bmw’s cabin filter was one of the attractions to the car. In this car it seems that the ventilation air temp depends on the engine temp though as after driving for a while the air will get really hot forcing me to turn the AC on even when it’s cold outside. This occurs after at least 15-20 mins of driving, the air is normal temp initially, and the left temp knob is turned completely towards cool/blue.
I’ve never had this issue in previous cars, they always circulate ambient air temp just as any fan would. I’ve had some issues with the dealer here so don’t really trust them when they say this is how all BMWs are and wanted to check in with you guys if this is really the case?
