Fogging Windows

I have never had a car fog windows like my 330i does when it's raining heavily.

It's been so bad, I've had to park for upwards to 30 minutes to get the windows to clear up enough so I can see where I'm going.

Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what did you do to correct it?

im guessing you can either try to use the fog-x (rainX product) or check out your heater core!

Run your AC "full tilt" in the defrost position...

Both of those should help. I also find it extremely irritating that the defrost can only be used on full tilt in the e46's. Is it like that on all models?

not in the E30. you can shoot the air to the floor, defrosters, dash vents or any combination at any fan level. so simple yet effective in the E30. . .

I guess I need to break down and read the owners manual and figure out how to use the heating/cooling system in this thing correctly...I still can't figure out half the shit it does.

My e36 goes full tilt when the defrost button is selected as well, but ya cold air or a/c will help alot.

Press the front windshiled defrost button, and don't touch any other buttons.

Should work in mere minutes.
