So I've felt the X3 hasn't been providing heat adequately in the colder weather and decided to measure the temperature coming out the center vents. I observed that in auto, it takes forever to heat up. In manual, it's a bit better. But compared to other vehicles in the past, including my wife's current Tiguan, it does not heat nearly as well.
If anyone here has an infrared thermometer, or one that can be inserted into the vents like a meat thermometer, could you compare your X3 to the temp curves below? Thanks!
