Good day petrolheads. I was searching all overl the internet but only seen people interested in swaping analog to digintal climate control, but I'm more interested in analog with climate control (hoping it will be less work than swapping to digital) So have anyone done that before or could link me to a DIY? Thanks

If I'm not mistaken the conversion is not more simple. You will still need a different unit behind the dashboard controls which is electric as well. In my eyes there is no difference in difficulty between the one you're planning and the full electric climate control
Indeed. Both options go from single temp zonde to dual zone, so need a heater core with 2 radiators in it. Although technicall, you could hook up only one side.
And if you need to swap heater core, might as well go digital. Which will work fine without A/C.
And that's your hardest part, regardless what version. If you want A/C, you need the pump, dryer, condensor and all lines.

@MParallel thats an interesting idea about hooking up only one side, think it would work? For that I could only swap the units (plug&play)?
If you only hooked up one side of the heater / AC unit you could only heat or cool half your air flow.
If you used a dual zone panel with standard heater unit you don't have the AC components inside to cool.
To be fair the dual zone feature isn't much good when the passenger compartment is one airspace.

That's ok if 3 degrees is enough https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...limate-Control
My 328 has it and it doesn't allow enough difference to notice

Dual zone works just fine.
Wat about these cars with 4 zone climate controls then...

Mate's had over 10 E36s and he doesn't rate it either, so not just me or the guy(s) on the thread I linked, or a particular car. And finally it was that good they abandoned it for the E46 I think. However, each to their own

If it truly does only allow 3 degrees variation that's not enough to bother with the complexity.
However, the best solution is it's my car so the heater stays how I put it
