The warm air could be a faulty outside temperature sensor. My '99 E46 ran over a piece of broken tire on the freeway, and damaged my outside temperature sensor under the front bumper, and caused warm air to come out from the lower cabin even though I set the inside temperature to be very low.
the gas mileage and warm air from footwell.
Gas mileage fluctuates until your car is broken in.
Warm air is the cause of directing air flow more to the footwells and also, trying lowering the temperature to the blue zone with the center dial.
Folks:
I am going to take my 330i in to the dealer for the following annoying issues tomorrow. Could any of you please comment if any of these are "normal" for the 330.
1) Lots of crackling noises coming from the underbody (seems like the catalytic convertor) when I turn the ignition off and get out of the car. Happens regardless of whether it is a short or long drive.
2) after the car is shut off, a lot of fluid (most likely water from the AC) leaks down from the car. Can this be normal? I thought only old ill-maintained cars did this!!
3) I still get pathetic mileage: 16-17 mpg. No matter what I do seems to change that. Changed driving style, changed between Shell, Mobil etc. No change.
4) and this is the most interesting. while driving, if I am wearning slippers or sandals, I feel a very mild current of warm air coming from the underbody into the cabin through where the acellerator/brake are.
Fortunately, I don't have any squeeks and rattles anywhere.
Still very happy with my car,
Harry in VA
