Have you gone into "Climate" via idrive and adjusted the vent temperature to toasty?

Do you have the automatic climate system (High) or do you have the manual one?

In the Us you can only get "respectivly warm air from the upper vents" BMW did this as to not allow fatique to the driver. You can only get hot heat from the windshield vents and the floor vents. I really hate this feature because i love hot heat on my hands and face while driving. I am currently haveing a heat issue with my car I have little to no heat even after a 5 to 10 mile drive and car at normal operating temp. I can force hot air out of the vents by repeatly (2 or 3 ) times going from auto to manual and adjusting the vent settings only to the mid vents, but as I stated I still get little to no heat and I have when it does come out I have to have the dial set to the max temp any even 1 click up and air is cold again.
Dealer said it is working properly but there is no way that I should have to turn up the dials past 80 to get any heat out of the car and what i do get luke warm even out of the upper and lower vents.
Rhudy do you have a tis on the heat and ac system? My car is out of warrenty as of Oct so I don't want to just start dumping money already tech looked at the car and could not find a problem as he got the heat to work but that was after a extended idleing situation and a 70 plus degree day
29 degree mornings are something else
