Minus the older BMWs(e21, e30, e28 etc) the newest ones blast heat. My e36 and now X5 does that. All my other ones do the same. Older BMWs you set where you want the air to come out and adjust fan speed. My E28 even had a real 'vent' on the dash that brought air from the cowl directly into the cabin.
