G82 AC Issue
Just took the new M4 for a spin to have his first state inspection done and the AC doesn't cool down at all. I'm in freaking Texas, 104 F right now. I did PDC on it and was wondering if they or somebody forgot to add gas to the AC system. Never had a brand new car the AC not working. What settings do you guys have on your climate control screen?

Friday when I picked my car up from exhaust install, it was in the 90s and humid. The vents were blowing hot air. Checked the setting, turned the ac compressor back on, and then ice cold. |

Reviving thread, I have no AC in my 2023 G80 M3 comp. I have not had the car in the warm weather until now since it is starting to warm up. I have had numerous issues with mine since I have had it.
Belt replaced, belt tensioner, TPM sensor, Steering wheel aligned, now AC not cold. My service advisor has quickly become my friend lol. I have mine scheduled to have the AC system diagnosed. Predicting low/no refrigerant as I have been seeing alot of german cars coming in with no refrigerant due to catching up on production last year.

I seem to recall some posts about this issue when original post was first made? I may have been on another thread if you searched this one? Seems like someone mentioned low refrigerant as an issue along with other critical checks that were supposed to be made before delivery but were not. For example there have been many posts regarding the shipping blocks not being removed from the springs before customer drove off the lot, only to experience terrrible handling on the way home.

If you’re familiar with older BMW’s It’s the same function as the analog slider circled on this E46 dash. With new models It’s now buried digitally in the climate menu.

My service advisor is cool with me since we both work in the car business. But man you can't make this stuff up. It has literally been one thing after another. My heads up display is also intermittent, known issue with ID8. I expect a software rollout in the near future.
In the meantime, I was burning up today in just 70 degree F weather in my car. The AC is blowing ambient temp air. No bueno

Update: My car only took a day to fix, they hooked it up to the r1234yf refrigerant machine and it read 0.0g, no fluid at all in the system. Spec is 550g of refrigerant. They added dye and let it sit overnight to verify no leaking, sure enough no leaks.
The Germans have really screwed me over more than once so far

You figure German "engineering" would 'remember' to charge the A/C...glad you got it fixed. Have had no problem with my '21 M4C. Do slide the top temp control all the way to cool in the summer, and A/C blows almost as cold as my Vettes did, and no car is better than they were.

My advisor said this was only the 2nd car he's seen in his 9 years that has come in with no refrigerant. I told him if it is going to happen, it's going to be me! I am one of the unluckiest people you will ever encounter. Glad its fixed!

Very strange. In the German factory. The fluids station only does that. The worker then needs to manually scan each fluid as completed.

Definitely have them check! The shipping blocks should be obvious lol doesn't it make the car sit up slightly higher? Make sure that air blows ice cold!

Definitely shipping blocks. I’ve seen 20 or more between BP and Facebook. I’ve consistently seen a few a month since this car was released. Luckily for me, there was no question. My PDi tech put the spacers in the trunk, in a ziplock with plastic zip ties holding them all together.

AC has gone out again on my G80 M3. When they fixed it a month ago, there was no refrigerant in the system at all. They added dye to the fluid incase it leaked in the future. Car is currently at the dealer and they are going to continue trying to troubleshoot this week to find where it's losing fluid.
Cannot believe the number of issues I have had with this car
