A/C auto question

In the 116i, I have closed the center vents and the side vents, since I don't like to get cold air blown in my face while driving. If I set the A/C in auto mode, it hardly has any cooling effect at all. I set the wanted temperature to 16 degrees, and outside it is 18 and sunny. The car has factory tinted windows, but there is no way the A/C can keep the temperature down. It get really warm inside. Probably well over 30.

Is the A/C system completely unable to blow cold air up or down in auto mode?

If I set the system to manual settings, select up and down, and set a manual intensity, it gets cold inside.

Is there something wrong with the car, or the user?
