This has been reported earlier on this forum, apparently this was a factory setting or blocking of Some sort for transportation. Contact your dealer and he should fix this.

Sorry, it was on the german EV forum:

http://www.goingelectric.de/forum/bmw-i3-infotainment/klima-kuehlt-nicht-t4477.html


"Oggi, l'appuntamento con la BMW i servizio sul clima non era fresco.
Il tutto è durato solo 15 minuti. Secondo il tecnico era apparentemente una sicurezza dei trasporti - ho il sospetto elettronicamente - non disattivato.
Anche in questo caso, tutto in ordine. Si raffredda. "

Ciao !

Thanks for the link (to the German forum).

I wrote on another post re the sunroof that the aircon is quite weedy. Which turns out to be because it isn't cooling. Translating the German pages suggests that one person came across the transport setting issue (presume this should be removed during the dealer PDI) and a couple of others have had other problems causing the aircon not to work, one of which recurred.

I took mine to the supplying dealer last week - they couldn't find anything obvious (they didn't say but I expect they were checking the transport setting) so it's in for a proper check next week. My car is a BEV with the heat pump option.

Apart from that I've had 2,000 trouble-free and fun miles in month one. People I've given lifts to in it have all said that it has completely changed their perception, not just of EVs but of their other cars too!

Indeed it seems several have other issues with the AC, hopefully they can solve your problem easy.
