2011 E93 M3 Climate Button

pedro2u · 02-13-2023, 09:21 PM

My car is in storage or I'd just go out and press it..... so what's the function of the round button between the heat seater buttons (in red below)? I've searched.....? Also didn't see it in the manual...

Thanks!

most likely a sensor, def not a button

Interior temperature sensor.

you're right. I just searched "climate" based on your post and although it's #14 in my picture, it was there all the time. Thanks!

It’s a a very sensitive nub. More visible on stripper spec builds.

I must have pressed that thing a million times years ago when I first got my car before I looked up what it is.
