So I noticed something strange with my BMW lately and I’m not sure if it’s a serious issue or just something normal that I ignored before. Every time I start the car, especially in the morning or after it’s been parked for a few hours, the AC gives off a kind of weird smell for the first few minutes. After that it goes away and the cooling seems fine, but that smell is really bothering me now. At first I thought maybe it’s just dust or because the car stays in the sun a lot here, but it keeps happening almost daily. I was going through some forums and came across a mention of BMW AC Maintenance Specialists in Sharjah, which made me think maybe this is something people here deal with often due to heat and humidity. I haven’t done any proper AC service in a long time, so maybe that’s the reason, but I’m not fully sure what causes this kind of smell. Could it be the filter or something deeper inside? I don’t want it to turn into a bigger problem later. If anyone has had the same issue, please share what you did. Did cleaning fix it or did you have to replace something?
