I ahve a 88 750il. I just drove it about 150 from the airport, and I noticed that the area all around the gear shift got hot! My A.C. stopped working about two weeks ago, but I still run the fans and they work fine. When I turned the fan off, I also noticed that the left side was blowing out hot air and the right side was blowing out half way cool air. I am really just woried about the heat around my gear shift, it is an automatic. Thanks in advance!
