Vents

JSILVER135I · 08-10-2012, 04:11 PM

Sorry prolly not the right place to post this but couldnt see anywhere else to post it! I also apologize because this is gonna be the stupidest question probably ever posted on 1 addicts but I was just curious as to why no matter which setting I have the ac on and no matter which way I angle the vent closest to the drivers side door on the dash I can't seem to get the ac to blast air on my face!! On a really hot day this becomes really frustrating! Is everybody's car like this or is something wrong with the way my vent angles or is it plugged or something! Seems to be a good amount of air coming out though it's just not blasting at quite the right angle! Any thoughts?

It won't reach. It's probably made to cool your chest.

I usually just close it and aim the right-driver side vent towards my eyes.

Feels good.

Same here. Inexplicable how BMW could design it like that.

Does it get that hot in Canada, Damn, you should try Texas.
I mess with that vent once in a while and give up!

I actually got the vents to point at my face once, but I took my car to get it washed and the person cleaning my interior moved my vent position, so now I can't get the vents to blast ac to my face....
