Blows a horrible smell the first few minutes it runs. This is clearly a engineering design problem that BWM will not own up to. They even have a service report called 'musty odors in the air conditioning system' and how to disinfect the system. They acknowledge that they are looking at solutions, but won't admit it is their problem.
