[QUOTE="viewfinder, post: 400925, member: 1704"] I was getting a bit into the solution space about my feedback that the piping, below the chilled metal surface surrounding the gear knob, be insulated. Ok the point again is: My issue is that the area is chilled and often touched by my left thigh (near the knee). Does not matter if I'm wearing shorts or khaki's... user such as me get irritated by chilled metal surface. So I hope BMW designer can solve this in next model. Either: - they insulate the air duct (what I meant by piping earlier) below the ashtray's metal surface to avoid loss of thermal exchange efficiency (what I'd prefer from engineering perspective), - they shift the duct further away from metal surface (provided there's such space luxury down there), or - even better ways that BMW designer can come up with. Coincidentally, a Camry sales man told me that Camry's rear air con duct is causing freezing in the center glove compartment. I guess he meant ice in the compartment. A bigger problem there I would say. [/QUOTE]
