Air Conditioning...THE SOLUTION!!!!!

For all us us with poor airflow on the side vents...I have discovered the problem. I have searched the manual, asked the dealer and played with every menu and finally today as the sweat was dripping from my face I discovered what the dealer couldnt.

The first photo shows the temp inside my car today.

The second photo shows how my idrive was setup. Inside Climate- "AUTOMATIC PROGRAMS" there are three settings:
SOFT
MEDIUM
INTENSIVE
Next to these settings is a scale that an be adjusted up/down, it was set at the maximum. I even tried adjusting this higher and lower and it didnt really affect the airflow. I have played with this adjustment a dozen times. Except today, I accidentally went past the zero setting and noticed the gauge turned blue....WOW....EUREKA!!! I HIT THE MOTHER LOAD!!!!!!!!!!

So now look at the third image...I set this scale at the highest blue setting and now I have air flow on the side vents. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I still dont really understand what it all means, I guess the red settings are for the heater...anyone understand the logic here??
