I have a 1996 328i and I'm very disappointed with the air conditioning.
Recently in Toronto the temperature was in the high 90s and I had to
have the fan blowing on my face to remain cool. It's also worse on the
highway than in city driving. I also find the "whoosh" noise that the
air conditioning frequently makes as it cycles on and off to be quite
disturbing. I, too, would be interested in other opinions about the
quality of the A/C.
