Or do they make a convertible X6!

I don't have a bimmer (yet), but I notice that with current car. I'm pretty sure it's one or two things: A) the ducts get hot inside the dash, weather it be from solar radiation, or engine heat through the firewall, etc., or B) it could also be from the evaporator (or condenser, I forget which one actually cools the air inside the dash) not being charged with pressurized refrigerant.
It's a bummer that your bimmer does it to you that way
