Heater knobs

[MikeyH]

Does anyone know how to get hot air to come out of the footwell vents and the face vents at the same time. My wife is driving me nuts trying to set the control knob half way but but she can’t. It’s either face or feet and she’s not a happy bunny. Is there some trick to it that only long standing BMW drivers know about?

Set it to feet and ask her to put her head on your lap.
If she's driving you may have to steer.

Can’t you put it halfway between the two to do both?

Open face vents, set req'd temp, press Auto, turn off A/C if not req'd

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice, USEL, that would break the seatbelt law bigwin, tried but is then weak out of both. Patriot66, I will give that a go. Me, I prefer cold head warm feet but then who am I to choose.

I’d suggest a part exchange on the missus next

Hey that’s cool, I wonder if they make them for individual feet so I can drive in them

Agree. Hot air blowing through a face vent is just wrong

I couldn't agree more.

Mrs Tidy used to prefer the car warmer than I wanted when driving - my 1 Series solved that with dual-zone climate. Never a problem with my Z4s as we had different addresses by the time I got my first.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that.
