One would think reading the menu on the idrive it was possible to pre heat the car. Sadly the software option for us UK owners is miss leading. It was the same on my 640d & my 635d & current M4. I spoke to my dealer & extra hardware is needed. It's not an option that can be fitted to a RH drive UK car. You can however circulate air however not air that has been cooled by the aircon system or heated.

I'm guessing that it's not the engine which heats the system when you select it but a separate heater

I think your dealer would be able to advise. |
Hi, yes aware all it does it blow air in from outside...while not brilliant it is better than nothing on a hot day, especially if the sunroof is left open on the 'tilt' setting.
I am going to,digress now.....
...did you know the sunroof closes automatically when it rains when the ignition is off. A pretty cool,feature....but not sure I am brave enough to test it!!
