In these super HOT days, given a choice to drive an E34 or Wira 1.5 , I have no doubts driving my wife's Wira 1.5 because the air-cond is just damn cold.Even under the hot-sun, wind-down both the windows to release the hot air and blast the air cond to full, in a moment, I would feel like I am in Genting.I always wondering if I could replace the e34 air-cond system to using DENSO system or Wira /Perdana air-cond ? What is the impact or disadvantages ?Or could some of my car factors affecting it ....1) Dark blue2) tinted windows ages ago3) ever since i put in an OBD, the temperature always show -37'c4) when traveling on highway, after a long time like 3-4 hours, my air-cond will blow out white smoke then the air cond will become not cold , take some time again to cold again5) when park my car indoor , after few hours shopping, when open car door , can feel hot stuffy air inside car cabin, I suspect heat from engine ? Any remedy ?I know best answer to all my problems is to get my affordable dream car e60 or e39 but pocket is ada "lubang" ....All sifus , please help ......Thanks in advance.

1. using leather seat? change to fabric seats is the most effective way.

2. remove the climate control system. ur car should be cool up quicker after initial start.

3. check your OBC temperature sensor, it should be behind the front bumper (it does not affect the cooling however)

4. yeah darker paint and interior makes ur car hotter. dark color absorbs more light (you see black things as "black" as it absorbs all lights), together with heat, and emits them. The darker the object, the better its emission of heat as it is a better absorber of light.

5. E34 interior cabin is bigger than wira, thus take longer time to cool down. My 1971 volkswagen beetle A/C cools even faster and colder than wira.

the rest i dunno... :stupid:
