Had same issue! (Wife’s car) follow both heater core hoses from the right side of the firewall to the connection points. One is attached to upper radiator hose. The other is attached to the frame rail. Disconnect both. Forward and reverse flush hoses and use a strong cleaning agent. Worked for me
I have same issue as OP, I checked the two heater hoses under the bonnet, but they were both hot and are the same temperature. Does it mean that the heater core is not clogged?
Great video!! I had a 2009 BMW X5 with a similar issue. My car needed a new heater control valve that opens and closes when the heat turns on and off. Good luck with your F30.
Thank you for your kind words and information on this issue. If I’m not mistaken, my car doesn’t have a heater control valve that looks like the one in older models. Instead it has has a heater shut off valve located in a different place than the older models. That is also something I will be looking into. Thanks again.
I had the same problem with my BMW F30 335i xDrive (2012) with a 2-zone automatic air conditioning system: passenger side always cold, driver's side lukewarm at most. After searching for ages, I flushed the heat exchanger (with a strong coolant cleaner), left it to soak overnight and flushed it again several times in both directions the next day. Now everything is working again and the interior gets really hot very quickly (> 40 degrees Celsius from all air vents).
Please check beforehand: Blower works, oil and coolant temperature behave normally (extended menu), air conditioning control unit and flaps in the heater box do not report any diagnostic errors, hoses in the engine compartment get warm.
When you say drivers side, do you mean the left side of vehicle? (I live in UK) :-)
I have a warm left side of car, cool right side of car… I’m thinking my heater matrix is partially blocked too, meaning the left side of the car (immediately where the matrix exits) is warm, but it lacks the ‘oomph’ to heat the furthest point away in the car.. the right side?
Please let me know if this sounds like what happened to you, as I’ve seen many solutions suggested!
Yes - driver's side means left side of the vehicle (Germany here) :-)
That was also my theory. Inlet and outlet of the heater matrix are on the left side (upper left corner and lower left corner). The coolant flows vertically as in a parallel circuit. The left side of the heater matrix is less clogged (Zone 1) and the further you go to the right side (Zone 2), the more the heater matix is clogged. Hence the temperature differences inside the car. I hope that helps...

I am experiencing the exact same thing.
Literally noticed today because it was cold outside. Funny enough when I turn the heat down the vents all works perfectly. But as soon as I turn up the heat, only my passenger side (your driver side) blows hot air, but the right hand side it would blow less and less air to a point where it is subtle but the air is cold.
I been having the same exact issue with my 2016 328i, but it only seem to happen on a very long drive then go back to normal when car is cool
Interesting. I’ve been reading forums and searching extensively on internet and this is the first time I heard of this issue related to long trip. Did you get it checked by a mechanic or dealer shop?
I have this issue. Same.
You don't need heater cored
Have same issue 2013 x5 but drivers side.
Heater core flush 3 times didn’t work
Blend door activator works when changing to 60 degrees but possibly it is stuck when opening to 84 degrees ( it’s a project to even change that part )
But I’m not sure it’s the problem for sure.
I changed heater control valve , as that is usually the issue but in my case not
I have new water pump / thermostat so that’s no the issue either.
Professional scanner doesn’t show any codes.
I’m guessing one of these two things
1.) blend door activator
2.) the digital temperature unit itself
Here is a guy who goes in detail about blend door activators for all cars which may be our problems as well

Thank you for your input. I have not figured it out yet. I kinda gave up on it. I got it checked out and I was told the blend door activator works fine. Got coolant flushed. They told me I “might” need software update but were not 100% sure if it would resolve the issue so I didn’t spent $450 on “might”. I’m just gonna let it be for now. Too bad, My passenger will have to wait for the whole car to get warmed up.
Did you change the heater control valve?
It’s an easy project under the hood and part is under $50. Most people that solves the issue but didn’t for me
I live in Minnesota and heat for defrost windows is important, so I will continue the process until resolved and let you know when I figure it out.
But I would try the heater control valve replacement, simple and cheap ✌️
@toddstanisich7949 where is the heater control valve on the 2013's I have the x3 and can't find it at all
Did you fix the issue?
Probably just a heater core flush is needed both lines
seems like a broken blend door actuator, I would suggest changing that as it is relatively cheap!
I have the same issue with my 2009 E87, I've researched this for so long now and the winter in norway rn drops below -25 C.. I'm ordering a new actuator tonight and changing it as soon as I get it.
Did it fix the issue?
that didn´t solve the issue.. I checked all the actuators and they all worked fine! in my case it was the tubes that were blocked. I rinsed them out and it worked again! the way to check the blend actuator is to turn the heat all the way down, then all the way up and you can hear the actuators working and changing! lmk if this helps @@whiplife3456
Just noticed having the same problem with my F30, passenger side not heating same as drivers side… Tried to do research, and found something about “blend door actuator” on the passenger side needs to be replaced. I dont know if anyone here have tried it worked out.
I got it checked out, (not at the BMW dealer) at local certified mechanic. They told me the actuator is working fine, and my BMW a software needs to be updated. Quoted me around $450 (about a 2 years ago). I walked out. I’m gonna leave it like this for now. I will see in future if I have $450 to burn just to find out if it actually dose anything or not. For now, my passenger can close their vent and wait for the cabin to warm up, which usually doesn’t take that long.
@@whiplife3456 I had the same problem in my 2013 f30
Replaced the blower motor regulator and fixed it
It’s cheap and if you can do it yourself, it’s a really easy 20 min job
@@whiplife3456 electronically the blend door valve might be okay, but internal gears might be faulty.
Blend door actuator. Passenger side .. change it.. you be good
It’s probably the temperature control unit the dash unit itself?
At this point, I think that’s what it is.
Same problem here on my bmw f20 135 LCI. I’m starting to freak out 😭
Your Blower motor regulator is going out
Cheap and easy to fix yourself
Did you find a solution
Took it to a shop, they said the blower motor regulator works fine. Still don’t know what the issue is.
Same issue but mine is the heating core that will meed to be replaced
Ever find out a solution?
I am having the same issue, let me know if you get sorted, I am avoiding going to bmw and being charged an arm and a leg.
No I haven’t sorted it out. I took my car the a indy shop and got coolant flush hoping it would fix the issue but it didn’t. The Indy shop told me I need a software update (and quoted me $285 for it) and if that doesn’t fix the issue, then I need a heating core which is like a $1000 job. I’m also avoiding the stealership because I still love my arm and leg more than my car.
Hey bud finally solved the issue, easy DIY, I flushed the heater core with radiator flush until all the dirt came out, now it's perfect the heat is 100%
@@agobakwemoema7364 Thanks for letting me know.
@@agobakwemoema7364 currently going through the same thing. Sitting in my garage flushing my heater core as I type this 😂
@@thatsmedonnyg did it work?
Your heating radiator is clogged, had same issue with my 335i, payed almost 1000 euro to change it at BMW dealership. The radiator is thin and often gets clogged (f30 335i 2012)
Same car & issue here. I flushed it on my own and now it perfectly works again and gets warm inside.
@@Monopoly1102are you talking about the heater core? Where the 2 hoses go into the firewall?
I got a 2007 bmw 335i same exact thing have you found a fix yet??
Nope.
Heater control valve
My car same problem but maybe hole in hose or radiator leaking
Let me know if you figure it out.
Have you had any luck fixing this issue since your last comments?
Nope. But it feels like it improved since last year. Maybe the coolant flush helped a little. Doesn’t bother me enough to get it fixed. But definitely noticeable.
Its the blend door actuator
Can you check your the temperature of inlet hose and outlet hose? Are they same
I don’t even know how to do that. Lol
This same exact thing happened to my 2013 335i please lmk if u ever find the problem
Will do. So far I don’t have a solution.
Did you find a solution for heating problem? I have the same thing
Nope. It did improve after coolant flush. But not back to normal how it should be.
Easy peasy
Did you solve this issue?
Nope.
Recently changed my antifreez aaand now have same problem on my f30 2012. Passanger side is going cold Lol. Sign me up for the club. Have anyone sortet it out ?
Ill check it in my dealer shop on 12.01. So fingers crossed.
Where you able to figure it out at the dealer shop?
@@whiplife3456what have you done so far? are both your heater core lines hot?
You don't need heater cored
