The best solution is to drive with your windows open. Totally ridiculous for a 40 grand car. So cooling your car with air from the outside is almost impossible because of the heat issue. You're forced to run your AC with hot feet. What a joke. Probably will require insulation or other solutions. My car is only 3 mos old or so. Hope this is the only issue.
ps. Another defect. Temperature gauge is 5-10% warmer than the actual temperature.

See my previous posts to this tread, BMW has improved my situation. Your "turning on the fan" is consistent with my issue as any airflow through the heaterbox pulls/ draws hot air from the uninsulated pipe into the cabin.
