Climate control - a bit unsettled
I've searched for a similar thread and failed, so apologies if this has been discussed before...
I'm 6 months into F90 ownership (MY 2020) and still can't get the climate control to behave. I did 2 x 2 hours drives over Christmas and had the climate control set on 19C with everything set to Auto (including A/C). For 5 minutes I'm being blasted with ice cold air, then it belts out a furnace for 5 minutes, then goes back to ice mode etc. etc. Continuously. For 4 hours. In previous long drives in this car, I've constantly tweaked the temp controller and other settings to try and find a happy balance, but this time I just let it settle to see what happened (over the course of the 4 hours). The car tried to give me pneumonia! This is my 8th BMW and I've never seen this issue before. In previous cars, it would gently tweak the air temperature to maintain a constant of 19C and I've never had any issues. Aside from the constant switching from ice to furnace, the car also suffers badly from internal misting. Windscreen. Rear window. Side windows. It was tough to just leave the system for 4 hours and try to see clearly out of the windows, while shivering and sweating. I've seen lots of posts on here about how to set the climate control; which is why I set everything to 'neutral' / 'auto', but no joy. I'm in the UK. Outside temperature was around 8C. Not particularly humid, but a bit of rain. Does anything here sound odd? Is it 'normal' for the car to flip between extreme cold air to extreme hot air constantly without changing any settings? Ta.

Thanks for the reply.
The next service is not due until about March, so not yet no. I'm trying to figure out if what I am seeing is 'normal', or whether I should get it looked by the stealers. Cheers. P.S. - I think I know the answer. Just looking to see if this may be a known issue.
