Just wondering, the air that blows in the front vent is not as strong as in the back, is yours the same? I have 08, 528i. Thanks in advance.

Which front vent? Heating or cooling?

I didn't know there's one for the rear, I only see the one for the front.

The front center vent, especially during heating, does not blow air with any strong velocity. The heating ducts are low to the floor (since heat rises). Even in the rear, the heat ducts are under the front seats.

I'm pretty sure that the center vent will blow more air under cooling conditions but it's hard to verify things right now since it's cold outside...

Tired it in warmer climes and the answer is.... when the front center vents are adjusted to max they blow much more air than the back centre vents in cooling mode.
