Mazda 3

Lol. Just watching a motorweek review of the Mazda 3 and noticed the dual climate control has a driver/passenger side synch button. I love my f30, but wish it had the feature to synch the climate controls. Never understood why they took away!

It throws off the 50:50 weight distribution.

Yup - gotta keep them the same!

It makes sense on such a small vehicle. Should've had it on the E46.

newoldbeemer · 10-02-2014, 08:47 PM

My friend's Passat has it too. I don't need it that badly but would be nice.

But then my E90 didn't even have folding seats! Glad they made it standard on the F30 at least.

newoldbeemer · 10-02-2014, 08:49 PM

Oh and the Mazda 3 is a nice little car, my favorite in that segment. The previous generation at least.

bmwauug · 10-02-2014, 08:49 PM

Yep. The x3 loaner i drove had it too. Sure it will be in the lci.

brilliant.

I've yet to hear an explanation from BMW as to why they removed this feature. Ridiculous in my opinion.

PushingRedline · 10-03-2014, 08:15 AM

Yeah i traded in a MazdaSpeed 3 for the 335 and that was something the MS3 had over the BMW...one button to sync the dual climate control. So simple BMW c'mon!

BimmerMat135 · 10-03-2014, 08:19 AM

Perfectly timed topic! I just had my F31 couple days ago. I didn't have much time to drive it but I was still trying to find a way to synchronise the climate control. Something so easy in the 1M!

Chriso79 · 10-03-2014, 08:20 AM

Yeah, I miss it from my E92's. First thing I noticed when I got my F30.
