I can't figure out how to have the dual climate control temp be controlled with one knob. I keep having to adjust both knobs its so annoying. There must be a sync or lock temp button somewhere.

I still don't have the hvac problem. :/ That's weird.

In at least the 4 BMW's that I have had over the last 20 years, the temperature controls have been the least-used of all the controls in the car. Set at 69º F and forget about it year in, year out.

Seems like the point of duel climate control would be to have separate knobs. I doubt there is any syncing method.It wouldn't be duel anymore.

There is no sync button on the 2 series... BMW cheapened out here, there should be and it is included on higher end BMW's and lower end competition by not on the 2 series.

2 series doesn't support this. That was the first thing I asked the Genius that did my delivery. A bit surprising at first, but......

........this lol. I set my to 69* and haven't touched it since. If I need it cooler or hotter I turn the little dial on the dash between the center vents.

My '11 135i has got it.

No sunglasses holder and my Nexus 6p doesn't fit in cup holder. 2 things I always carry with me and there is nowhere I can put them except passenger seat

I still haven't figured out why my climate control turns ON at start. I rarely use it in my cars

I feel your pain. I have a Nexus 6 as well. I put my sunglasses in the little compartment underneath the headlight switch. If you don't have the driver's assist package it won't be there. If you're not in the US you'll need the storage package as well.

I put my phone either parallel in the cup holder, in the door pocket or in the arm rest. Definitely not ideal. In my last car I would just throw it on the dash by the speedo.

I had 6 too, it didn't fit anywhere )) 6p fits fine in my S2k and Lexus IS. I do have drivers assist package so there is no storage.

I wonder if one of those Brookstone phone holders work with M235i..the ones that clip in to the air vents

My spare galaxy s4 is on the air vent. i run toque on it. I'll try my 6 on it and let you know how it goes.

Kolyan2k I gave the magnetic mount a shot. It'll definitely work, but man it looks huge up there. Portrait would be the best orientation due to the weight.

looks legit as well. I like magnetic because I basically just hold the phone up to it and then I'm done. I'd imagine that the clamp style required messing with the mount to secure the phone.

This is the one I have.

Would that work with Google live case?

Hmmm, it looks like there's some touch shortcut functionality on the back of that case? That sounds pretty cool. Do you use that? Which part of the case do you touch? I would guess that it might. The metal plate that you insert into the case is pretty thin. Maybe two or three sheets of paper thick. It's metal though, so there's a chance that it can interfere with the touch detection.

Okay, I looked up the functionality of that case and as I suspected you press the middle. If you look at the design of the case on the inside you'll see that the actual transmission of the touch is at the top left corner (when looking at the inside of the case). The metal plate would be behind the middle area, so my only concern would be whether or not it would interfere with or "short out" that sensor. I also just noticed that there's a circular cutout underneath the camera. I'm guessing that this is for finger print detection?

Based on these things I'd say that the magnetic holder is not the way to go. :/

Just go to Turner and get console storage box for sunglasses. This replaces ashtray, take the cover off and you have this rubber bin. $8, done.

Not sure if I have defective case but my shortcut button barely works u need to press it really hard to active which makes it useless for me.

Thanks. I will look into that

Sadly I use my cup holder to hold my shaker cup. Here's a link for those that are curious. So you pull the whole cup holder out and put this mat in the bottom?

Yeah I am not sure where that goes. I don't even have an ashtray too. There is that small closed storage behind the power socket, I wonder if that can be changed since it's too small to fit anything there. I am new and away from car now, so maybe I am talking nonsense )))

Kolyan2k Figured it out. You pull the coin tray and it goes in there to replace it. I'm gonna do it and put my spare phone down there. That way I can run a USB cable to the phone from inside of the arm rest getting rid of the dangling cable that I have now.

Thanks kdog26372
