Better now, holding out for the 30d later this year, not too convinced by the 20d/20i performance and engine noise which I would have gotten by now, the delta is 30k euro (30d is 100k euro) that's X5 money, so you never know:,

100k = ouch! Worth getting the 30d over the 20d for the engine noise alone if you can afford it. Good luck and keep us posted

I have the DPC, it was an option and my car has it. I don't know what to say, my previous car was a 320d and I was pretty much appreciating the driving experience, I was surpassed it didn't change too much with such a heavier and higher car as the X3. 'course steering in roundabouts makes you remember of the difference ;-)

The reflection of the speaker and air vents on the top of the dashboard in the windscreen. Very distracting as you're driving along

Try playing with the intensity and starting off with MAX. Sometimes it gets into a state on AUTO where it would take a day to get the temperature down to the requested temp. I don't know why AUTO doesn't automatically change the intensity as it does in most other cars I've driven/owned

Auto should mean just that ie it varies the fan speed and temp as and when it needs to get to the temp you set it at. Worked fine on the E90. Why change it!?

Got it explained very well. In order to satisfy the majority of users, the AUTO position has now the option to LIMIT the maximum air speed the system can reach. That's the meaning of the ventilation selection when in AUTO mode. This means you can easily set it to the max and the car will vent with max power up until it's close to the temperature set, then will slow down as in "Normal" operation. If you set the vent to the minimum, the car will blow much more gently, clearly requiring much longer time to reach the desired temperature. You just need to find your personal setting and then you're done. For example I didn't like it with the previous 320d I had that was too strong for me, I found a good setting with the three bars (more or less in the middle, it's a five-step setting if I remember correctly) |

Has any of my fellow coders played with
HU_CIC EXBOX HVAC_AUTOMATIC_INTENSITY? mine is nicht aktiv by default, and I don't have my car today to try it out. UPDATE. I was able to modify this tonight and it does indeed vary the fan speed when the temp approaches setpoint. |
