When the internal air temperature sensor becomes dirty over time, heating/airconditioning either thinks it is too warm or too cold inside then over-cools or over-heats.
Cleaning the internal air temperature sensor is simple:
It is behind the little slots on the front of the HVAC control, which has a fan that draws air across the sensor. It can clog up with dirt and need to be cleaned with some compressed air.
If more fails, you can replace it with a more modern unit, see the pictures below that are from [WayBack] Guide To Your BMW E46 HVAC Automatic Climate Control Upgrade by delmarco | DIY

Remember:
- Money quote: “Reliability is valued far more than new features”
- Here’s the thing: As soon as your device is on a network, “stasis == reliability” is false.
There’s really no point in attempting to “but” or “what if” this – it’s just wrong. Sadly, while uptake of networking is rapidly approaching 100%, understanding of this point is still hovering near zero.

There are still sites limiting password lengt to low values like 20 or 15. Don’t!
The why at [WayBack] Implement Proper Password Strength Controls: Password Length has been in place since October 2012, since when cracking passwords has become way faster, so risk at length 20 back then is now a risk at something like length 40.
Password Length
Longer passwords provide a greater combination of characters and consequently make it more difficult for an attacker to guess.
- Minimum length of the passwords should be enforced by the application.
- Passwords shorter than 10 characters are considered to be weak (NIST SP800-132).
While minimum length enforcement may cause problems with memorizing passwords among some users, applications should encourage them to set passphrases (sentences or combination of words) that can be much longer than typical passwords and yet much easier to remember.
- Maximum password length should not be set too low, as it will prevent users from creating passphrases. Typical maximum length is 128 characters.
- Passphrases shorter than 20 characters are usually considered weak if they only consist of lower case Latin characters.
