On our '95 325i it does seem that the mid-point positions take a little
more force to get the knob into. Not unduly high though....

I have noticed that air output is significantly reduced when using the
floor vents rather than the dash or de-mist vents. The dealer said "they
all do that". Is this the case for other 325i's as well?

And while I'm bitching, has anyone else noticed that the temperature
of air out of the A/C isn't particularly cold when compared to most
other cars, or is it just my car that needs recharging? And when you
turn the fan to the "3" or "4" setting it's surely the loudest ruckus I've
ever heard an A/C make (in terms of wind and fan noise)?
