No you cannot. They replaced the "all" button from the E9x generation with "max AC"
I don't know what the designers were thinking!! It's so annoying to have to adjust both sides individually each time!! |

Man not the answer I was hoping for but thanks for the response. Amazing I cannot syc temps on a $40K+ vehicle. However that being the only gripe with the car thus far I'll give it a 4.9 outta 5.0! Thanks!

I wonder if we could simply stretch a rubber band around the two knobs. Wouldn't that sync them up?

I personally don't see why it's a big issue. I usually have my temp set around 67-70, so I just keep the passenger side somewhere in that area |

My X4 has the sync feature button. My M235i does not. In the sports car I require my passenger to "ask politely" if she needs a temperature change...so I guess it's a voice-activated feature.

Both of our cars have the "His & Hers" Dual climate controls and I have to say, it's a real peace maker. I suspect there's a small amount of placebo effect in being able to set your own temp, but it sure makes my wife happy. Best money I ever spent.

the bmw genius i asked said it's some kind of business decision...they want certain things available in higher series as "incentive" for ppl to buy them. Hence why it's on the 5, but not on 2 (and apparently 3 or 4 either?). kinda similar to why they don't have HUD for the 2. Dual climate control is such a basic functionality though, seems like it should be standard

What I really miss in the new cars is the "REST" button.

But you're right, nicer features are reserved for nicer cars. Which is why we'll never get the massaging seats with ventilation.

It's absolutely a business packaging decision. No other explanation.

Honestly dual climate control in a vehicle with this small a cabin is useless. I feel heated seats are as well unless you have the vert. The heater and AC in this car works so well the car heats up and cools down so quickly. You are so close to each other I just dont see how its a benefit. A manual AC would work just fine. The new Porsche Boxster Spider comes standard without climate control but its a no cost option for the manual climate control or a $750 option for dual. No way I would spend that $750.

Strongly disagree. Works very well in our SLK, which has a far, far smaller cabin than the 2. MY GF is always cold and I'm always hot. After enjoying the dual control, we would view its lack of availability on any new vehicle we were looking at to be a major negative.

Try rolling out of the house in the morning when your car's been sitting all night and the seat/padding/frame are all at the same -10degF temperature as the rest of the neighborhood, then realize your backside is insulating all that cold material from the car's heater.
