In all the diagrams I've found, I don't see a bypass valve anywhere so I'm assuming we don't have one, right..?? My heater core is leaking and the new parts won't be here until Saturday so I was thinking in the interim, perhaps I could bypass the heater core by looping the hoses going in to the firewall and avoid having a wet carpet every day after work this week.. I've read that vehicles with a bypass should be plugged, not looped, but again I don't see those on any images anywhere and I haven't dug in to the engine bay yet..

Thanks!

FYI - 2008 E92 335i is the vehicle
