Climate control issue?

[Franklin Joseph]

Wondering if this is normal or if i have a climate control issue.
It got pretty chilly this morning. Was playing around with the driver and passenger temp settings 10mins into my drive (when i noticed this problem)

Driver setting 70 (pointed to face), passenger setting 84, pointed down. Fan speed 3 (manual setting)
Driver center vent blew cool air, passenger vent blew the same temp (not warm)
When i changed the driver setting to 60, passenger vent got warmer but not hot.
I changed driver setting to 84, both vents got hot. Change driver setting back to 70 and both vents get cool.

Also when both are at 84, the passenger middle vent seems to blow stronger than the driver middle vent.

Is all this normal? or should i schedule an appt with the dealer?

Thanks
Franklin

seems to me like you've created a soup of temperature combinations. Enjoy your car and stop trying to find something wrong with it. I'm sure most of this is normal, considering that the center vents are sitting next to each other, and even if the temperatures are far apart, the conducts run side by side so I'm sure the entire system is backed up by a complex algorithm that determines which side should blow harder/softer and hotter/colder in order to achieve your requested outcome.

You're not crazy...

I, too, notice that the dash vents blow cold/cooler air while the floor and windshield vents blow warmer air.

In my previous 3 series you could adjust the temp of the dash separately from the rest of the vents (i.e. the floor or windshield vents would be different temp). In this car you can't but I am wondering if there is a setting that you could adjust within the climate control system similar to this that we don't know about.

As far as the strength of the blowing (haha I know that's what he said), I can't speak to that.
