Extreme heat by driver footwell - RESOLVED

Evening fellow members,

I have an issue that I need help with - after driving my M4 for 10min I start to get extreme heat from the footwell area like I'm in a sauna.
The car is decatted but surely this can't be causing the extreme heat.

I also have an issue with the air vents. The air force is very low and hardly any air from driver side vent. Also no hot air.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This isn't the first time I'm hearing about this situation with BMW. Something similar happened on my Mini Cooper

Maybe this can be a starting point for you

There is an additional oil cooler on the driver side near the front wheel. I feel the heat when I get out of car but not in. Something's off maybe you heat shielding?
