AC not blowing cold on a hot day

The AC on my 2022 iX doesn't blow cold air if it is hot outside. I took it back to the dealership and they checked the refrigerant levels (within specifications). It was a cool day, though, and they said it was working as expected. What can I do about it?

I'm beyond frustrated with this. I've had to buy a small cooler fan to keep in my car.

Кондиціонер на моєму 2022 iX не дує холодним повітрям, якщо надворі жарко. Я повернув його в дилерський центр, і вони перевірили рівень холодоагенту (у межах специфікацій). Проте день був прохолодним, і вони сказали, що все працює, як очікувалося. Що я можу з цим зробити?

Я надзвичайно розчарований цим. Мені довелося купити невеликий вентилятор, щоб тримати його в машині.
У мене така ж хрень! Спробую запрограмувати блок клімат-контролю.Але це точно несправність, а не норма.

Did you change the air temps under the ID8 sub menu.
in a previous gen BMW I had exactly the same but I found that you must lower the air temperatures within the climate sub menu.

the main temp you set is a target setting and the climate settings set the minimum temperature of the air - I think the temp settings are for footwell and screen but I’m only going by memory!!
Check the air recirculating setting. Maybe it’s pulling in outside hot air and can’t keep up vs recirculating the cabin air and cooling it??

there’s also a MAX AC setting in the top middle of the climate control. Try that maybe.
I'm in TX - so far we've only had a few days in the mid 90ºs this season, but I've found the AC is so cold I usually keep it on "very low" or "low".

If yours has hot air, something's not right. This appears to be a very good air conditioner...

And yeah - there is the setting in the menus that used to be the blue-to-red knob on previous gens - i keep mine square in the middle for that setting.

Mine was doing the same thing. I brought it back to the dealer , and ended up with replacing the condenser and compressor. Took over a month for them to get the parts.
