I have a couple of issues with my BMW 320i which i am hoping you can help with.

1. Airconditioning - the airconditioning is very substandard. I live out in the middle east and sure, the temperature is hot, however i still feel the ac is substandard. the problem is that the ac cools when the car is moving but cools significantly less when the car is idle. The dealership here replaced the compressor and the dryer and claim the aux fan is ok however i have my doubts. how can i check what the issue is?

2. when i accelerate fast, there is a slight hiss sound when the gear shifts and also when the rpm is at a high level.

3. there is a clattery sound in the engine when the car is idling. is that normal in all 320s or is it just mine?
