Cold air only through dash vents
Noticed last night that the dash vents are only throwing out cold air. Lovely warm air from all the others.
Automatic Aircon switched on, same through both drivers and passengers side.
Any ideas?

Have you adjusted the centre vent blend switch temp wise?

Ended up just closing the vents!

The horizontal wheel below the central locking button on the photo.
Very easy to move it to cold when you're dusting.
Double check that first.

Not sure how a large colour marked thumb wheel in the middle of the dashboard directly in line of sight can be described as ‘well hidden’?
On your insurance claim did the tree leap out into the road?

The blend wheel did indeed solve my problem!
Must get round to reading the manual, thanks for the responses.

Excellent!
Now if you have trouble with it not cornering very well, there is a big wheel in front of the drivers seat.........................

I had exactly the same experience with my E89 some time ago. It is not documented in the user manual.
I even took it back to the dealers and they couldn’t sort it. I eventually stumbled upon the cause and that fixed it.
Easy mistake to happen in my experience.

FWIW the 18i doesn't have a hot/cold wheel.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

No Roberto, just a hotter/colder dial. Being in the air conditioning industry all my working life I can honestly say it's a breath of fresh air not to have CC. The first company I started was called Climate Control. Happy days.
See what I did there?
