Heater failure/not working

Only under 500 miles and looks like I'll be heading in for service.

Went for a drive tonight to check out some different settings with driver mode and adaptive suspension. It's in the upper 50's out here.
Set the HVAC temp to 73F, fan about half way. Cool air blowing.
Car was cold, so I kept driving.
A bit later as oil temp is between cold and normal, still no warm air.
Set the temp to 77F. Blowing cold air.
Set to full 84F. Cold air.
I even turned 'auto' mode on, no good.

While driving around with no heat, and testing out driver modes, the sport mode config would grey out the options, and I couldn't make changes.
I switched back to comfort then back to sport, the options were again available. A minute later they would grey out again.
Strange.
I'm sure this is one of those one-off failures, but just curious, anyone else try their heater in their newly delivered 3 series?

So now I've got no heat, sport config acting stupid, added to my steering/steering wheel not locking when I shut the car off.

Gotta get to the dealer.
While there I want them to fix my exhaust tips too.
When I went to pick up my 335i I noticed the tips weren't even, one of them sticks out about 1" farther than the other, and they aren't level. No biggie it's just cosmetic. I figured they could look at it if/when something big comes up. And now it has.
Oh well. It happens. I still love my 335i Msport.
