Has anyone upgraded the fan and evaporator for the AC system to produce more cold air volume while maintaining a stock looking console? I have a Sanden rotary compressor in my coupe and a rotary compressor on my Bavaria from a 5 series car. I have also upgraded the condensers.
I live in Southwest Florida and if the AC is marginal for a coupe, you can imagine how well it works in a Bavaria in the peak summer heat and humidity. Is there a fan upgrade that would move more air and not be so loud? I remember 20 years ago seeing someone who was retrofitting their console on a Bavaria using components from a 3 series. That car was in progress back then and I never saw the completed project. I imagine coupe owners are more reluctant to modify the console very much. I am not wanting to add any kind of additional side vents to the coupe. The side vents on the Bavaria aren't much help. I tend to think a better fan mechanism could make a significant improvement.
