No Heat On Rear Vents

Just Wondering If The Rear Vents Are Supposed To Blow Hot Air, I Read The Owners Manual And It Says Theyre Only Supposed To Blow Cold Air

there is no rear heat in the E34 unfortunately. I remember somewhere that the floor vents in the rear will blow heat.

Heat comes from the vents on the floor just behind the front seats. Make sure the floor mats aren't covering them

Thanks for the laugh....I needed it. The manual is correct...so are the posters above except for the comment about no heat for the rear passengers.

Indeed, heat is directed to the rear passengers thru the floor vents...and only fresh air or cooled "air conditioned" air comes through the rear center vents. So in the winter you should close the rear vents unless the rear passengers would like to have a blast of fresh air.

Here's a pic of the air distribution in the e34:
