E90General discussion and technical help for 2005-current 3 series cars.
i have a question, kinda off topic, maybe u can answer it bmwlotattendant, on the vents, the knob with the red and blue colors for like hot and cold, what EXACTLY does it do? i know if you have your heater on put it on red and if you have the AC on put it on blue... but it really doesnt seem to make a big difference

For some odd reason, I KNEW you were going to ask that.
Ok, ok. Just for you.

Well, the knobs increase and decrease the temperature. The knob above the headunit regulates COLD or HOT.
So if you have it all the way down, and on HOT, it's going to blow out semi-warm air. AND, if you don't have the snowflake (right side middle button) button pressed ON. Then you won't EVER get cold air.
trust me, ive tried that, and it doesnt work, you actually cant feel the difference, all you can notice is that it distributes the air differently, something like if its allt he way on cold it restricst the air flowing to the defrost vents or something..?

Ok, I'll get the "professional" answer tommorow at work. Straight from the books.
currently on the bmwusa website they have the E90 325 and 330 sedans, the E92 328 and 335 coupes, and the E46 325 and 330 verts (this doesnt include tourings and XI's)
From what i understand they almost took it a step further than different factory codes for the 2 and 4 door 3-series. I read somewhere a while ago that they actually planned on naming what we know as the 3 series coupe the 4 series.
Basically the E90 would have been the 325 and 330 sedans, and E92 would have been 428 and 435 coupes. And presumeably we would eventually have had an M3 and M4.
Yeah i recently went to Turkey on vacation. Saw a ton of 1 series there. Not a bad looking car at all. I think it might actually do pretty well in the US, especially with fuel prices as they are.
