Outside Air Ventilation

Arktik · 07-12-2020, 01:06 PM

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2012 BMW 328i Coupe (E92/N51) and, after reading the owner's manual, there doesn't appear to be a way to vent outside air into the cabin (other than opening the windows). It seems you either have to use the air (Auto) conditioner or nothing. What am I missing, if anything?

Take it off auto by pushing the auto button, green light goes out. Take it off AC by pushing snowflake button, green light goes out. Turn temp dial(s) to 60 deg. (i.e.) lowest setting. Set air flow to desired position, i.e. windshield, torso, or feet (green light on button illuminates).

Thank you. I will give that a try.
