New Shoes (pics) and question

Hi all-
As many of you know I sold my 2012 X5 50i to a forum member, but we still have our 08' X5 30i. He got some new shoes today to better fit our needs. Pics below. On another note every time we go through our touch less car wash, at the end of the tunnel the AC gets very hot and humid and steam comes through the vents (set to recirculating). As soon as we're out it goes back to normal and is ice cold.

Take the system off of "recirculate" so that fresh air is blowing into the cabin....then see if the same phenomena occurs.

Closing off the fresh air flaps may be causing the accumulation of humidity inside the cabin... similar to placing a plastic bag over you head and closing it off around your neck. Prior to you passing out from lack of oxygen...you'll also see the build up of condensation on the inside of the bag.
