Am i missing something?

Car is 2017 LCI 435d guys. Does the air con/air temp have to be adjusted separately for driver and passenger side, or is there a way to 'pair' both sides up so that both can be adjusted by one rotation ? On my other cars this was possible, but doesn't seem the case here. Advice/confirmation welcome. Thanks in advance

A 2017 4 series is not an LCI model. The LCI happened on 2018 models.

LCI, registered sept 2017 .... Apparently, the 'crossover period' was with cars built in January/early February 2017 ...

Unfortunately there is no way to sync the climate control, pre or post LCI. I can't see why this was omitted from our cars. Literally every other model in BMWs line up has it except for the 1/2/3/4 series.
I also suffer from chronic OCD of having both sides set at the same temperature, kinda defeats the objective of dual zone climate control though haha

I found this strange when I first bought my F31 but in all honesty I soon forgot about it and never thought about it since until mentioned on here again now.

Yeah, it's weird they put a "sync" button on 5/6 series but not the others.

To get driver/passenger heater control sync, connect the two knobs using a thick rubber band.

The G20 now has a sync function but it's hidden in the climate menu on the idrive rather than a button on the dash, the issue is it resets itself to not syncing so you have to go in and change it which is a waste of time as it's easier just to adjust the temp manually, very odd.

(that could have been user error but I had one for week and that was my experience)

Good God man, this is a BMW from 2017 you are driving, not a bog standard Golf from 2005!

You don't need to go into the menu or press any buttons. Just ask the assistant to synchronise temperature.

I wondered this too, seems bizarre you can't do it.

Also, when I press the air direction button, I can do top middle bottom on drivers side but only middle and bottom on the passenger seat. Is that because nobody is sat in it or something?

No because the "top" covers the entire top, it's not the top on each side

Me too, I couldn't possibly have them showing different temperatures, not even by half a degree.
