    Me dumb-dumb.

    I just learned today that the Auto in climate control does not mean auto fan speed.

    I though my AC was underperforming - then read the owners manual -- carefully in the climate control area.

    Auto controls whether the AC or Heat needs to run, controls the direction of flow from the vents, does not control the intensity of the fan.

    Posting this because if seen other posts say AC under-performing ...

    Works in an R56.

    Fans speed up or slow down as needed, hotbor cold air blows as needed, vents change from floor to cabin as needed.

    I have no complaints about my MINI's airconditioning.
