What is the preferred way to set up the AC in an E39 for a comfy setting?
Yes. I read the manual, well, the part on the air conditioning anyway. But I was just wondering if any ac setup hints can be had here.
Here's what I do today (for 55 degree nights & 75 degree days).
... I leave the center vents on the three blue dot setting
... I set the driver side temperature to 64 degrees
... I set the passenger side temperature to 68 degrees
... I set the +/- to about the half way point on the orange LED ramp
... I press the AUTO button to let the computer choose where to blow the air (up, down, both)
... I leave the MAX button untouched unless it gets too warm
Even with all that setup, I still find myself constantly messing with the settings, mostly the driver side temperature and fan speeds. Even during a simple half-hour trip, I find myself having to adjust the settings constantly.
I must be doing something wrong.
I can't be the first person to want setting which keeps the car cool to about 66 degrees no matter what the temperature is outside if the ambient temperature ranges between about 55 and 75 degrees fahrenheit.
How do YOU set up the ac in your E39?
... center vents (1, 2, or 3 blue or red dots)?
... driver side temperature (degrees)?
... passenger side temperature (degrees)?
... fan speed (+/- LED ramp)?
... AUTO / UP / DOWN buttons?
... MAX button?
