In the summertime, I set the individual custom settings to the blue range to blow cold air. Maybe you have it set the same way and forgot about it. It was quite a handful of steps to get it corrected to red for the cold days ahead. The climate controls are far too complicated... or just not very intuitive.

I know! I can never understand the relationship between the blue/red range temperature setting and the other temperature setting you set with the dial outside the idrive.

this is the part of the year i hate with the X....fall. sometimes it's hot and sometimes cold weather outside. each time i have to adjust the 4 blue bars to red and vice versa each startup...annoying.

^It's in the iDrive's climiate control screen. The manual has instructions as well.
