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

You have proven yourself worthy again. Except I wouldn't mind seeing it in the daylight.

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.

I hope that answers your questions.

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.

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.

Personally I'm glad they decided against that.

**celsdogg** · 09-04-2006, 09:02 PM

^^^ i heard that too. round the same time i heard about the 1 series, but that actually came true.

**Cuse330Ci** · 09-04-2006, 09:36 PM

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.

**celsdogg** · 09-04-2006, 09:56 PM

^^^ lol. we have said that so many times here in the past few monthes.

lots of us would rock a 1, i know i would.

i think that just regulates the outside air mixture with the the inside heated/cool air.

so if its hot outside..and you put the knobs to cold then the system only blows air that has been cooled..or not coole dif you dont have the ac on.

reverse idea with the hot air.

i think thats all it does.

**RSF5** · 09-04-2006, 11:07 PM

^^^ Yeah comfortably controlling AC in a BMW is an art.

**Alpine328i** · 09-13-2006, 10:00 PM

It's basically to keep you awake while driving. You can set the vent to hit your face with the temp that keeps you alert. Here it is, straight from the owner's manual . .

Wrong knob, D'Sky.

**Dudesky** · 02-05-2007, 06:33 PM

^^^ No, actually it's the right one, as shown in the very first pic on this thread . . look right between the vents. I believe that's what xsperf is referring to, I just happen to have the E36 equivalent of it.
