Yep, I have also noticed the cabin temperatures are hotter than previous cars, and definitely hotter than my wife's Mini.
I used to run the AC at 22 deg C in previous cars, but in the current F30, I find myself turning down the AC to 20C or even 18C and I also have to crank up the fan from 2 to 3 or even 4 bars (especially on +30C days).
The inside of my car is black and I had wondered if that colour had contributed to the increased Temps. But my previous car was also black inside, so I ruled that out.

One question I havefor you all: when you put on the AC in Auto mode from initial start up, does the fan blow full power and then gradually subside when the cabin temperature reduces? I used to have this feature on previous BMW's and Minis, but it does seem to be apparent on my F30............is there a setting that I haven't activated?
