R56 What is the actual AC Temp in MCS 2008?
#28
I've found that my 08 MCS with the regular AC is generally a warm car. Without the A/C on during cool days, the vents tend to blow air that's warmer than I want and I tend to open the windows more frequently. I've found the A/C itself to be pretty effective, but it certainly isn't the "nuclear powered refrigerator" that I've experienced in some American cars.

My Cooper S always feels hot to me.

When driving alone by closing the passenger vent I can get more cold air flowing through the driver side which helps quite a bit.

Calibrated actual AC Temp in MC 2008.
Went by aircraft maintenance shop yesterday and borrowed their A/C electronic test unit.
Outside, in full 90f sunlight, registered high 40's on high blower and high 30's on low blower setting.
High blower is best test and over 40 degree drop from ambient would be satisfactory on a GM auto, over 50 is excellent performance.
Of course it is still new, (seven weeks, 700 miles) but I never close my sunroof in South Florida and Auto AC keeps cabin cool.
