RTFM - From the Owner's manual:

Ventilating storage compartment in front armrest

1. Fold the folding tray or telephone cradle upward.

2. Open or close the slider in the storage compartment.

Depending on the automatic climate control setting, the temperature inside the
storage compartment may be higher than in the rest of the interior.
Close the vent as needed.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Mine used to wok before they changed the A/C blower. Should I ask the dealer to fix it before the warranty expires? I mean, If that darn thing doesn't work, is this an indication that they did something wrong and it's going to bite me in the ass, later?

I think there's enough room in there to keep a beer can nice and cool for a short trip.

They probably did not reconnect the ductwork properly, so you should probably take it back.
