Control Panels

INTRODUCTION

The heating/air conditioning Systems of the E36/5 and /7 (318ti and Z3) were specifically designed for use in these models. The system is a so-called "controlled" system. The temperature and air distribution are controlled, NOT regulated

The systems are called "IHKS". Translated from German, the acronym means, "Integrated Heating and Air Conditioning Control."





Highlights of the IHKS system include;
- Compact heater case design with microfilter for air inlet (318ti only).
- Temperature control through air blending flap.
- Mechanical air distribution control.
- One fresh/recirc air flap stepper motor,
- Four-speed resistor controlled blower motor.
