X3 climate control problems and software coding (dealer)

Hi guys, long time no see!

Got myself a new X3 and its a lovely car but with an annoying problem - when all climate areas are set to sync and on my 23.5 deg setting, rear vents blow hot air. Constantly. The only way to change it to set the rear 2 deg cooler but that stops auto fans from working so I have to constantly fiddle with the fan controls.

Took the car to the dealer - apparently there is an issue with software and a fix that eliminates that. Picked the car up the following day, apparently the coding was done - but NOTHING changed. Same issue persists

Worse, not a single setting in the car has been reset. From my experience, if the iDrive is flashed with a new software all settings disappear and have to be manually restored. Dealer is feeding me bullshit how they can now keep all the settings even when completely re-flashing the car...

Can anyone help me please to
1. find any proof of that the coding has or hasn't occurred
2. similar stories of air con/ climate not behaving like it should
3. how to locate software version in iDrive
4. anyone on the inside has any knowledge of this issue?

Much appreciated.

Cheers!
