I've always seen the face vent "Stratification Adjustment Thumbwheel" and its function, taking Climate Control to another, higher level. I've been using the feature for 12 years in different BMWs, no issues at all.

The ability to fine tune the face vent temperature is a superb feature, IMO.

Just this evening I was driving in 1.5C ambient temperature, in horrible conditions (wet snow). The CC was clearly working to keep the cabin at 20C, blowing in heat, and doing a good job of it on the Auto program. With the face vent thumbwheel in mid position the face level flow and temperature was gentle, neither hot or cold, perfect for driving. Plus the ability to fine tune it 'hotter or cooler' if I want, without changing the ideal cabin heat.
