I would say "Mi sentas min malvarma"
That construction is common. For example, there's a shirt (and poster) that say "Kia vi sentas vin hodiaŭ?" with faces showing feelings, with Esperanto labels.
I would definitely hesitate to say "Mi estas malvarma" unless my skin actually feels cold. When you say "I'm cold" in English, it doesn't mean that your body is actually cold; it means that you *feel* cold. In my opinion, the Esperanto translation of the phrase should reflect that.
In contrast, if you are hungry or tired, you *are* actually hungry or tired, objectively. Therefore you would say "Mi estas malsata" or "Mi estas laca"; you wouldn't be saying "mi sentas min malsata".

Terurĉjo:I'm cold = Al mi estas malvarme.Since Esperanto is quite french n russian in many ways , so this Terurcjo`s suggestion seemes very reseanable to me.I would never say "me estas malvarma",as it would mean that my body is cold , not that i feel cold.
It's cold = Estas malvarme = Malvarmas.
So:
Mi estas malvarma - my body`s cold.
Al mi estas malvarme,al mi malvarmas - i feel cold
OR just:
mi sentas malvarmon.

I think that Esperanto is similar. "Mi estas varma" would probably mean something...well, it wouldn't mean that you find it hot. ; ) "Al mi estas varme" sounds right, in that vein (and also "al mi estas malvarme").

- Sed nun mi elpensis ion alian. Ĉu estus bone diri: "Mi fartas malvarme."?
